Chapter 230: Yan Yukuan
After sweeping the floor and coming back to look, Xia Yubing's reply appeared on the notebook:
【So sudden?】
【Alright, I'm going now.】
After a while:
【Your house is quite close to where I live. But the security guard uncle doesn't seem to believe I'm your girlfriend. He said Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's girlfriend just came here the day before yesterday to help him clean the room. What's going on?】
Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe didn't answer her question, but wrote:
【Buy a pack of cigarettes for the security guard uncle. He likes to smoke Jinsheng, don't buy the wrong one.】
Xia Yubing's reply was just one word: 【Okay】
Waiting for another ten minutes or so, new blue handwriting appeared on the notebook:
【I've entered your house and found the ring. Then what? Should I put it on?】
Only then did Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe breathe a sigh of relief. He changed his body back to his own appearance, took a small red cloth bag from the inner pocket of his clothes, which contained his grandfather's wedding ring from his youth.
Placing the small red cloth bag on the box, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe picked up his pen and continued to write:
【Don't put it on yet. Before the engagement, we must first match the marriage. I will write my birth date and time to you next. You take this time to ask your aunt for your birth date and time, then write it to me. Be quick.】
Marriage matching is a traditional custom with a long history, referring to men and women intending to marry meeting and talking before marriage, exchanging "Geng Tie" (birth date cards), and judging whether the other party is a good match.
The Geng Tie will be written with the names, ancestral homes, birth dates and times, family situations, and three generations of ancestors of both the man and woman... etc. It is an important part of ancient marriage etiquette.
For this kind of thing, it can be very complicated for wealthy families and very simple for small families. Just having the birth date and time is enough, but for safety's sake, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe still wrote down the names and occupations of his grandparents and urged Xia Yubing to do the same.
Before long, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe stopped his pen, and blue handwriting began to emerge on the notebook. That was Xia Yubing writing her Geng Tie, completing the "marriage matching" of the two.
A few minutes later, Xia Yubing's Geng Tie was finished.
Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe quickly picked up his pen and wrote:
【Have you finished reading my birth date and family situation?】
Xia Yubing replied in seconds:
【Finished reading.】
Looking at the blue handwriting appearing on the notebook paper, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe continued to write:
【Okay, then finally I ask you, are you willing to marry me?】
This is the final confirmation link of marriage matching. Agreeing or disagreeing is fine, as long as there is a result, it can count as a complete marriage matching. But now, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe clearly needs Xia Yubing to agree.
After a moment of silence, blue handwriting appeared on the paper again:
【What if I'm not willing? Actually, Auntie is right; I can't find anyone better than you.】
【I am willing.】
Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe nodded and continued to write:
【Good, then next, put the ring on your left middle finger. Be careful not to put it on the wrong finger; it must be the left middle finger.】
There are many sayings about ring-wearing etiquette. The international trend is to view wearing a ring on the left ring finger as married, and the left middle finger as engaged. Of course, there are also places that view wearing a ring on the left middle finger as "in love." Every country and region has different sayings; Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe took the greatest common divisor.
Watching the handwriting "I've put it on" appearing stroke by stroke on the notebook, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe also put his grandfather's ring on his hand, completing this engagement without meeting. Done.
Subsequently, a touch of wedding dress red as blood slowly emerged beside him. Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe turned his head and looked again at the almanac held in He Nianjun's hands:
【Lunar June 27th】
【Suitable: Travel, Cleaning, Relocation, Marriage Matching, Engagement, Burial, Encoffining】
【Avoid: Moving the Grave, Breaking Ground, Accepting Wealth, Accepting Livestock, Digging Wells, Opening Pools, Planting, Seeking Children, Consecration】
There are 7 suitable things on today's almanac. Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe has already completed 5 of them: Burial, Encoffining, Marriage Matching, Engagement, Cleaning. He is still 2 short of the "Heaven-defying Great Fortune" level of full-level heaven-defying luck: Travel, Relocation.
Relocation cannot be completed here, but Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe can probably guess what the conditions for triggering travel are. Completing this matter requires first getting something.
"In ancient times, the boundary between indoors and outdoors was the threshold. Stepping out of the threshold counts as going out, and on this basis, walking a bit further is travel. Although I have entered and exited the prison many times before, I either climbed the wall or flew out directly. Neither of these meets the conditions for 'travel'."
To trigger "travel," one needs to walk through the door.
However, having been chased all over the prison by the mad-dog-like Inverted Ghost, he hadn't had a chance to walk through the front door. Now, he can finally loosen up a bit.
"Let's go find the key." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe closed the notebook and put it into his bosom, turned into a flying insect, squeezed through the door crack, and left this clean room that had just been cleaned.
Perhaps because of good luck, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe hadn't walked far after leaving the room when he encountered a dead prison guard at a corner, with a large bunch of bright keys hanging from his waist, looking like the position of a squad leader.

Taking off the keys, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe simply checked the prison guard's corpse. There were no external injuries either, only the body was inverted left and right, and the features and hairstyle were completely opposite to the ID photo on the work badge.
"He was killed by the Inverted Ghost." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe put the keys into his bosom and stood up to leave.
So far, he still hadn't figured out the Inverted Ghost's killing rules and didn't know what medium this ghost needed to kill. He could only hope that the great luck provided by the Serpent God would make his path ahead as smooth as possible.
When Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe left the prison and hurried toward the prison front gate.
Also in the prison building, a person wearing a prison guard uniform was walking on the fire escape, walking down step by step.
But bizarrely, his steps were clearly downward, yet every step he took, the step he was on would be one step higher than before, walking higher and higher, higher and higher, until his feet were almost stepping on the top of the stairwell.
Fen Wu frowned slightly, understanding in his heart: "Old Li has been killed."
Having lost the restraint of the Gridder, the Inverted Ghost's rules had already spiraled out of control, beginning to act on every aspect of this world.
"Sure enough, he has some means, no wonder he could master Zhaoyou." Fen Wu nodded in appreciation. At this moment, a woman's voice rang out from behind him:
"Yan Yukuan, why haven't you come home yet?"
Hearing the Lamp-Extinguishing Ghost's call, Fen Wu became vigilant immediately, while feeling somewhat puzzled in his heart: "Who is Yan Yukuan?"
Although puzzled in his heart, this voice gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity. After the woman's call entered his ears, Fen Wu uncontrollably had the thought of wanting to turn his head to look.
"The ghost is affecting my consciousness." Fen Wu understood the current situation instantly.
The next second, his body froze, as if it were a machine with its gears jammed. His pupils expanded slightly, and after a moment of distraction, they quickly contracted back, as if nothing had happened.
Fen Wu walked backward up the stairs without a word, but the foot he stepped backward with landed on the lower step directly in front of him.
