Chapter 181 181. About sewing wedding dresses

Matchmaker Zhang thought for a while: "Shall I go with you?"

Zhong Zhouyi believed in Matchmaker Zhang. With her here, nothing would go wrong: "That would be troublesome."

Matchmaker Zhang stood up again before her butt was hot from sitting: "Let's go, let's go now and try to set the wedding date as soon as possible. By the way, when you come back later, you can give me the horoscope and I will go and get it together." "

Zhong Zhouyi shook his head and said firmly: "No need to marry her, I will marry Ruoxi regardless of whether we are compatible or not."

Matchmaker Zhang was a little surprised. It was the first time she met someone who didn't need to combine their horoscopes when discussing marriage: "If that's the case, then it's not compatible."

The two talked about what happened at the wedding and gradually drifted away.

…

At noon, Zhong Zhouyi and Matchmaker Zhang prepared all the betrothal gifts, went home and called Mrs. Zhong, and together they went to the Shen family to propose marriage.

This incident attracted the attention of many villagers, and they all followed Shen's family just to watch the excitement.

Upon hearing this, Grandma Shen and Shen Zhen also hurried back from the fields.

After a while, Shen's house was filled with people.

Shen Da greeted the Zhong family: "Please sit down, please sit down, and we can talk slowly if you have anything to do."

The two families sat across from each other and started discussing the marriage between Shen Ruoxi and Zhong Zhouyi.

As a matchmaker, Zhang Matchmaker guided the topic: "Zhou Yi said that he would marry Ruoxi no matter what, so there was no need to marry him. In this case, let's talk about the betrothal gift directly."

He took out the betrothal gift list and read it to the Shen family one by one: "Dry lacquer, cotton wool, donkey-hide gelatin, Albizia julibrissin, Jiahe, Jiuzipu, Zhuwei, two stones, longevity thread, three teas, six pieces of red silk cloth, gift Sixty-four taels of silver, eight coins of colorful silver as a welcome gift, four coins of colorful silver for knocking on the door, net increase of six coins of colorful silver."

After Matchmaker Zhang finished reading, she asked Shen Da: "Do you have any opinion on the betrothal gift?"

Shen Da was very satisfied. It can be said that he was extremely satisfied: "It was very well prepared. I have nothing to say."

Matchmaker Zhang gave the betrothal gift list to Shen Da: "This is for you Ruoxi. You, the father, should keep it and then discuss the wedding date. It will be easier to discuss it if both parties are together."

Shen Da asked: "Which days are better?"

"I looked at a few days. There are four recent ones: May 18th, May 24th, June 6th, and June 26th. The remaining good days are in September. Now, you decide whether to choose the one that’s close or the one that’s far away.”

Shen Da asked Mrs. Zhong: "Which day does Grandma Zhong think is suitable?"

The man chooses the wedding date, and then asks the woman for her opinion. If she has no opinion, the man will get married on that day.

Mrs. Zhong asked Zhong Zhouyi: "Zhou Yi, when do you want to get married?"

Zhong Zhouyi pondered for a while: "Let's go on the sixth day of June. It's not far or near. I have time to prepare for the wedding."

Shen Da nodded: "Then it will be the sixth day of June."

After some discussion, the wedding was scheduled for the sixth day of June, and both families were very happy.

When delivering the betrothal gift, the man needed to have dinner at the woman's house. After the marriage was decided, Shen Da asked Shen Ruohan to call Shen Ruoxi back.

When Shen Ruoxi first heard about it, she was really surprised. She just agreed to get married yesterday, and the wedding date was set today. Were marriages so fast in ancient times?

…

After returning home, Shen Ruoxi greeted the Zhong family first, and then went to the kitchen to help cook.

Zhong Zhouyi followed him to the kitchen: "Ruoxi, let me help you."

Shen Ruohan and the other girls couldn't help but glance at the two of them ambiguously. Although the process was bumpy, the relationship between the two was really enviable.

Shen Ruoxi did not refuse him and asked: "What will you do?"

Zhong Zhouyi smiled: "It's my first time in the kitchen. Why don't you teach me? I learn things very quickly and I can do it as soon as I teach you."

Shen Ruoxi looked around: "Then you can light the fire. Just put the firewood in the stove."

"Okay." Zhong Zhouyi sat on the fire-burning bench and started the fire gracefully.

Shen Ruoxi raised her eyebrows. Everything the young master did seemed to be noble. Wherever he sat, the kitchen became more advanced: "Cooking now, stir-fry later."

"Yeah." Zhong Zhouyi nodded.

Shen Ruoxi and Shen Ruohan were busy preparing lunch together, and the smell soon filled the kitchen.

The news of their engagement spread quickly in the village...

"I just went to see the engagement scene between Shen Ruoxi and Zhong Zhouyi. The Zhong family was so willing. I have never seen anyone give such a colorful gift. The gift money was only sixty-four taels."

"Give me so much money?"

"Yes, the money is put in the box one by one. It makes my eyes hot just looking at it."

The people in the village are really bored. At first they were talking about the two of them, and now they are talking about Shen Ruoxi's generous gift. Anyway, they have something to say.

No matter how upset everyone was, Shen Ruoxi and Zhong Zhouyi's marriage was decided, and the Zhong family started preparing for the wedding the next day.

Shen Ruoxi only did one thing, preparing her own wedding dress.

Generally, after an engagement, the girl will sew her wedding clothes herself, and Shen Ruoxi is no exception.

Shen Da brought the six-foot red silk to Shen Ruoxi: "You have less business to do in the medical clinic. Hurry up and prepare the wedding clothes. Whether the wedding clothes are well made or not is related to the reputation of the girl's family. You should use some. Childlike heart."

Shen Ruoxi secretly said: No matter how hard she tries, she can't do anything she can't do!

Shen Da explained the matter and left the room. As soon as he left, Shen Ruoxi called Shen Ruohan over: "Can you sew wedding clothes?"

Shen Ruohan hugged the red silk fabric in shock: "Second sister, you don't want me to help you sew your wedding dress, do you?"

Shen Ruoxi nodded: "That's what I mean. I don't know how. If you don't help me, I will have to buy it secretly."

Shen Ruohan hesitated: "I'm afraid I can't sew well."

Shen Ruoxi pushed the red silk cloth: "It doesn't matter, as long as it can be sewn and worn."

In the end, Shen Ruohan couldn't bear Shen Ruoxi's prayer and agreed: "Then let me sew it for you."

Shen Ruoxi held Shen Ruohan's face and rubbed it: "Ruohan is the best behaved."

Shen Ruohan smiled: "Second sister, I'm so old and you still say I'm good."

Shen Ruoxi pinched Shen Ruohan's little face. The scars on the little girl's face were no longer visible. She was quite beautiful: "No matter how old she is, she is still the little sister of the second sister."

Shen Ruohan was laughed at and said: "I will go sewing tomorrow and I will sew it for you if I buy it."

Shen Ruoxi patted Shen Ruohan on the shoulder: "Okay, my little sister will have a hard time in the next few days."

…

The matter of wedding clothes was left to Shen Ruohan, and Shen Ruoxi was fine. She returned to her life before the engagement, working at the hospital and at home at two o'clock every day.

On this day, Zhai Fu suddenly came to the hospital: "Miss Ruoxi."

Shen Ruoxi looked at him in surprise: "Why is Shopkeeper Zhai here?" He is the in-law of Shopkeeper Wancaotang. Last time Shen Ruoxi went to shopkeeper Wancaotang to sell medicine, she accidentally ran into him.

Zhai Fu smiled and said softly: "Of course I came to you to buy medicine. Are you free?"

Shen Ruoxi smiled and said: "When you have time, shopkeeper Zhai can come in and talk."

Zhai Fu followed Shen Ruoxi to the guest room, where the host and guest took their seats. Shen Suhong brought tea.
