Sister-in-law Zhou chattered a lot, detailing the benefits to Zhou after Zhou Muqin came in. Zhou Muqin also echoed the words, showing a well-behaved and obedient look.
Although Mrs. Zhou was told that the other party was a bit crazy, she was still determined and refused to agree to this matter.
At noon (10 o'clock), the man came to welcome the bride, and the group went to the front yard.
This was the first time Xie Yixiao met the young man who was about to marry Gu You. It was said that his surname was Zhao, and he called him Second Young Master Zhao. Second Young Master Zhao’s appearance was not outstanding, but not bad either. He seemed to have a gentle temperament.
It seems to be generous and magnanimous.
Even though he has average qualifications and may not have the opportunity to take the imperial examination and become an official in the court in this life, he is calm and easy-going and is very tolerant towards others.
Xie Yixiao thought to herself that Marquis Changning had done his best for Gu You. Even if he wanted to find a place to throw the person away, he was still limited to finding a man with good character for her.
It's just a pity that she feels that even if Gu You really gets married, he may not be at peace. If he marries such a woman and returns home, he may not have many good days.
Xie Yi smiled and sighed. The man sent a lot of wedding candies and cakes, and they were all very well made. It seemed that the man from the legendary farming and studying family also had some background.
The person who gave her the wedding candy was a little girl of eleven or twelve years old. She had a round face and a smile like a little bun. She was also a little shy. When she saw Xie Yi smiling at her, she was busy and worried.
I gave her two handfuls.
"Sister, you are so beautiful. Is my sister-in-law as beautiful as my sister?"
Xie Yi smiled and paused: "Sister-in-law?"
The little girl nodded: "Yes, my brother and I came to pick up my sister-in-law. I am the groom's cousin. You call me Yuanyuan, chubby Yuanyuan."
Xie Yixiao suddenly laughed out loud: "Yuanyuan, what a cute name. Thank you for the candy, but don't stuff it for me. I can't eat so much."
Yuanyuan said: "Sister, if you can't eat it, just eat it slowly. Sister, you look good."
Xie Yixiao reached out and touched it, and took out a jade pendant from his waist: "My surname is Xie, just call me Sister Xie. I am the bride's cousin. If you have a chance, you can go to Xie's house to visit me.
"
Xie Yixiao still likes this little girl very much. She looks so innocent and cute that people can't refuse her. Maybe she hasn't seen such an innocent and cute little girl for a long time.
"Take it, thank you sister for the gift, and thank you for the candy."
Yuanyuan rubbed her hands and felt a little embarrassed: "Thank you, sister, this is valuable, Yuanyuan can't have it."
Xie Yi smiled and said: "Whether the thing is worth it depends on how much money you can get for it. I am giving you a gift, and I am not asking you to sell it. So, whether it is worth the money is secondary.
Do you think so?"
Yuanyuan opened her eyes wide, and after thinking about it, she felt it made sense, so she nodded blankly: "Sister Xie said yes, so Yuanyuan accepted it, thank you sister."
After saying that, she dug in her arms again and took out a pure white handkerchief: "Thank you, sister, this is for you. This is the first handkerchief Yuanyuan has embroidered. I like this one the best."
Xie Yixiao took a closer look and saw an orchid and a colorful butterfly embroidered on the white handkerchief, with two round words on the side, Yuanyuan.
Xie Yi burst out laughing: "The word Yuan Yuan is beautiful, it's really round."
Yuanyuan was a little shy: "A round and round one looks good."
"Yes, you are round and beautiful." Xie Yixiao thought for a moment and had some ideas, "Yuanyuan, are you literate?"
Yuanyuan nodded: "My parents taught me how to read."
Xie Yixiao asked again: "Sister, I want to ask you to help me write some words. I don't know if you are willing, but your adults are here..." At this point, Xie Yixiao paused, "Look at me
, this is confusing, you are about to return after picking up the bride, if you come to the Imperial City again next time, you can come to me."
Xie Yixiao thinks that the round characters are pretty good-looking. They will also look good when used on the wooden boxes of Xizi Pavilion porcelain bottles. They will also be regarded as the logo of Xizi Pavilion. Moreover, she has a source for it, which is just right.
But if the other party doesn’t have time, forget it.
Yuanyuan said happily: "Sister Xie, if we come to the Imperial City, we will definitely come to you."
"Okay." Xie Yixiao was also very happy.
"Yuanyuan." The groom called out, and Yuanyuan snorted before reluctantly leaving, "Thank you, sister, my brother called me."
"Go ahead."
After Yuanyuan left, Xie Yixiao turned to Qingluo on the side and said, "Look at this little girl, isn't she very cute, chubby and round?"
Qingluo looked at Yuanyuan's leaving figure and snorted coldly.
Xie Yixiao added: "You think so, too. It would be fun to have such a cute little sister."
Qingluo glanced at her lightly and thought, don't even think about having a sister, but you can give birth to one.
Qingluo thought for a moment that Xie Yixiao would give birth to such a cute little girl in the future, and she suddenly felt a little hopeful. It seemed very good.
Not long after, someone helped the bride out.
Gu You was dressed in red, but her body was a little stiff. Someone was pressing her hands without leaving a trace and grabbing her fan. However, she walked very slowly. It seemed that she took a lot of effort to take a step, and she even wanted to step back.
However, the servants on her left and right were holding her, and she couldn't escape even if she wanted to.
People in the room were waiting for her to come. Mrs. Zhou sat in the room and couldn't stop crying. She didn't know whether she was crying that her daughter was going to marry far away, or whether she was worried about her daughter's future.
When Marquis Changning saw that Gu You was still reluctant, trying desperately to struggle and run back, there was a hint of anger in his eyes.
The groom's Zhao family also frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.
When the Marquis of Changning came to talk to them about this marriage, they also told them the reason. They said that it was difficult for Gu You to get married because of his fate. He happened to have the same fate as the second-ranked son of the Zhao family, so he wanted to marry Gu You.
This girl got married.
However, because the Zhao family is an ordinary family, the bride is not willing to marry, and they also know that. The Changning Marquis Mansion only asks Second Young Master Zhao to marry her, and then take good care of her.
Moreover, it has given many benefits to the Zhao family, such as helping to introduce a young master of the Zhao family to Chang'an Academy in the imperial city every three years. This is a great benefit to the Zhao family.
So the marriage was settled.
Finally, he waited until Gu You came up, and then poured tea to say goodbye to his elders.
Zhou took the tea and just cried. She couldn't say anything. She wanted to say that Gu You had a hard life, but at this time, she was really going to get married. She also hoped that she would be well and didn't want to say those unlucky words.
.
I held it in for a long time, but finally I could only say one sentence: "Live a good life from now on."
