When the two arrived at Chunxueyuan, the rain started to fall heavily, and the spring rain fell from the sky. The two hurriedly ran into the yard to avoid getting wet.
The yard was busy. Xie Yixiao was standing under the eaves of the main house. A maid was holding an umbrella and placing a copper basin in the yard to catch the rain from the sky.
The rain is still very cold, so be careful if you get wet or cold."
Xie Yiling felt a chest tightness and shortness of breath when he heard this. How long had it been? His sister was still in the mood to receive the spring rain, wasn't she worried at all?
"Sister!" he shouted, and then ran over quickly. Seeing this, the maid in the yard quickly came up with an umbrella to protect him from the rain, lest he get wet.
The courtyard of Chunxueyuan is not very big. There is a bluestone road from one end to the other, and you soon reach the eaves of the main building.
Xie Yi smiled and saw that his hair was stained with rainwater and he was still panting, and frowned slightly: "Why are you running so fast? Can I still run?"
Xie Yiling thought to herself that she was not running away now, but she was about to get married and would run away then.
"Sister, you are getting married!" He lowered his head gloomily.
Xie Yixiao really wanted to reach out and rub his hair, but the little boy was no longer young, and he was quite shameless. She was afraid that he would explode, so she thought about it.
"Okay, okay, my sister is married. Is it possible that she is not your sister? Even if she is married, you can come to see me if you want to."
The maid who came with her quickly said: "Miss Thirteen, Madam ordered me to invite you to the outer courtyard."
The maid's name is Lin Zhaoxia. She is the daughter of Mrs. Xie's former personal maid. However, her mother died a few years ago. Her father is a steward of the Xie family and has been serving Mrs. Xie in the past few years.
Xie Yixiao also understood the procedures for getting engaged. After the Rong family had sent out the betrothal gifts, and the two families had discussed it and both had no objections, they would ask her to come forward. The two betrothed each took the engagement tokens, and then the two families
The appointment letter was signed at that time, and the matter was completed.
In ancient times, there were two types of betrothals. One was to make a marriage agreement with three letters and six etiquettes. The people in the world could see it, and there was a letter of engagement as evidence, and a betrothal gift was also accepted. Such a marriage could not be regretted easily.
Unless there is something difficult to overcome.
For example, the marriage between Gu You and Jiang Zeyun was settled with three letters and six etiquette.
Although the Marquis of Wu'an now agreed to marry Gu Xiang, she still had to marry someone like this. Mrs. Marquis of Wu'an held her breath in her heart and complained that the Marquis of Changning was unkind and had an alienated relationship with the Marquis of Changning.
Similarly, people who know that Gu You escaped from marriage feel that Gu You is not a good woman, does not keep the marriage agreement, and does not care about the family.
There is also a way to make a verbal agreement with a token first. If there is a ceremony later on in the marriage, it must be made up. If one party is dissatisfied with this type of marriage, there is still room for annulment, and the token can be returned directly.
However, the reputation is also not very good.
"Are you going now?" Xie Yixiao asked.
Lin Zhaoxia said: "Thirteenth girl, do you want to pack up? Once you pack up, go there. If you are not in a hurry, you can also wait until the rain stops. It rains and the road is difficult to walk."
Any girl from a powerful family who is not rich in gold, or who comes to propose marriage to Duke Rong Guo, has to act like she is 'proposing to marry', so waiting for a while is really not a big deal.
In the eyes of many people nowadays, the romance given by the husband is "three letters and six etiquette to marry you".
It's like walking from the foot of the mountain step by step to the Buddha to beg you, wanting to walk hand in hand with you for the rest of my life.
People often say, "If you hire someone, you will become a wife; if you run away, you will become a concubine." This is also true.
If the other person really cares about you, he will marry you upright. If he can't even marry you, you still want to be with him. Isn't this self-degradation?
This class of people are not even qualified to be wives, they can only be concubines.
Xie Yixiao turned to look at the sky. The rain was still falling at the moment. Although it was not too heavy, if he had to go there, even if he held an umbrella, it would inevitably get his skirt wet.
"Then wait for a while until the rain has passed."
After that, she patted Xie Yiling on the shoulder: "Let's go in and have a sip of tea. Don't be bored."
After entering the room, Xie Yixiao handed him a cup of warm tea.
Xie Yiling felt better after drinking tea. When he looked up, he saw his sister dressed in Chinese clothes. She was as beautiful as the best blooming flower in spring, which made her feel a little sad.
"Why wasn't my sister born a boy? If she was born a boy, there would be no need to marry into another family. Then I could go to the academy to study with my sister, and there would be no need to separate in the future."
Xie Yixiao couldn't help but laugh: "What are you talking about? No matter how good you think, I am already a woman and it is impossible for me to become a man. However, you have such a heart, and I am also happy in my heart."
"I know you can't let me go, but all women in the world have to get married. Mr. Jiu is a good man, and my sister likes him very much. This can be regarded as a happy marriage."
"If you are worried, just come and visit me from time to time. It will be no different from when I lived in Changning Marquis Mansion."
Xie Yiling disagreed with this: "Why is there no difference? The difference is huge. Then before..." Sister A didn't get close to him in the past, and her relationship with him was not good. Although he wanted to get close, he could only
I can go and see her occasionally, but I won't worry about annoying her if I go too much.
But now that his relationship with his sister has improved, he is even more reluctant to let go and doesn't want to go back to the previous way of getting along.
"Okay, okay, I said the wrong thing." Xie Yixiao was afraid that he would get angry if he kept saying it, so he quickly responded, "Okay, if you are willing, in the future, when my sister gets married, you can also do it every day.
Let’s go have a meal and let you see me every day, okay?”
"No, what would it be like if I went there every day?"
Xie Yiling didn't understand the truth, but he felt a little bored, and he didn't seem to know how to vent his boredom.
Woohoo~
My sister is getting married~
He reached out and grabbed a piece of pastry on the plate and ate it, but found that it was not even tasty.
Xie Yi smiled and coaxed him for a while before coaxing him and smoothing his hair.
By the time they were coaxed, it was already time for another stick of incense. At this time, the rain stopped for a while. Xie Yixiao asked the people in the courtyard to collect the spring rain, and then walked to the outer courtyard with a few people.
go.
At this time, in the main courtyard of the outer courtyard, two families were chatting.
Xie Yian looked at Xie Yu who was jumping up and down. There was no expression on his face, but the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Although the scene was always lively with Xie Yu around, Xie Yian wanted to beat him every time he saw him.
How could he give birth to such a son!
On the other side, Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Rong Guogong, Mrs. Cao Guogong and their daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wen, were also talking.
Since it was a marriage proposal, the people in Rong Guogong's mansion were very patient and did not rush her. Moreover, it was raining heavily outside, so it was not easy for the girl to come in the rain.
There was a heavy spring rain outside, but the house was bustling with activity.
