Chapter 386 Yi Xiao is fortunate to be able to form a marriage with Ninth Young Master
Not long after the spring rain stopped, Xie Yixiao and others arrived at the outer courtyard.
When the people waiting outside the house saw her coming, they asked her to wait a moment, then went in and reported: "Miss Thirteen is here."
Mrs. Xie turned around and smiled: "Here she comes, let her in quickly."
A group of maids were waiting outside the door. Xie Yixiao and Xie Yiling walked inside together. Madam Xie called her over: "Come over here and sit down."
Xie Yixiao raised his head and glanced in the room, only to see Rong Ci talking to Xie Yizhen and the others. He didn't dare to look more, and gave a slight salute to everyone, and then walked towards Mrs. Xie.
Mrs. Rong Guogong was naturally very happy when she saw her. She held her hand and couldn't help but smile and said, "Yixiao looks really good in her outfit today."
Xie Yixiao smiled: "Thank you, Madam Guogong, for your compliment."
Duke Cao said: "Thank you, Miss. Today the ninth son of the Rong family came to ask for your hand in marriage. I wonder if you are willing. If you are willing, we will exchange betrothal tokens. When the time comes, the two families will sign the letter of engagement, and the marriage will be finalized."
"
Although the engagement letter is not as good as the marriage certificate, it has the proof of the engagement letter and there is no way to go back on it.
As soon as Mrs. Cao Guogong said these words, everyone present looked at her.
Xie Yixiao was only slightly nervous at first, but she could still hold it together. Now that everyone was looking over and asking her if she wanted to get married, she couldn't help but blush on her face and her fingers were shaking slightly from nervousness.
She thought to herself, fortunately, she was not asked to say this to Rong Ci. Otherwise, she would not know how to say this. Now she knew that he must be looking at her at this moment, but she did not dare
Look back at his face.
"Of course Yixiao is willing. It is a blessing for Yixiao in his life to be able to marry the Ninth Young Master."
What she said was sincere, and she was indeed lucky to meet Rong Ci in her life.
Her father died when she was young, and her mother remarried and lived with the old lady. Later, because the old lady became ill, she dropped out of high school to make money, but no matter how much money she made, she never left the old lady behind.
Then no one was dedicated to her, and it seemed like she was the only one left in the world.
Later, when she came here by chance, she met the Jiang family who looked exactly like the old lady, people from the Changning Marquis Mansion, and people from the Xie family.
Jiang treated her the best, but she also had her own concerns. She had children and grandchildren, and she had many concerns. Even she herself was so angry that she was half-dead sometimes, and she had to endure it.
Needless to say, the rest of the people in the Changning Marquis Mansion, although they regard her as a relative, if there is a dispute, they will definitely stand on their side. After all, they are a family, and they have the same surname, and they are closer.
For some, even the gains and losses of interests are closely related.
However, she had already looked away from this. This was human nature. She felt unhappy at first, but finally accepted it calmly.
But Jiu Gongzi once said that he will always be biased towards her and he wants to spend the rest of his life with her.
Although there is a long road ahead and things may not be certain in the future, she is willing to believe him after he said so.
She really wanted to be with him.
As soon as she said this, everyone in the room laughed. Listening to everyone's laughter, she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. No matter how good-hearted she was, she was just a little girl.
"Okay." Mrs. Rong Guogong laughed twice, "It is indeed a blessing in your life that you can get married. This can be regarded as a destiny."
If it weren't for Xie Yixiao, Rong Ci would probably have been married. How could he return home to get married?
Isn’t it a destined marriage?
The official matchmaker brought up the wooden saucer containing the jade pendant.
Mrs. Xie opened the red silk cloth and took a look. The jade pendants turned out to be two cats with different shapes. They looked lively and cute. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and looked around at the unmarried couple.
.
She looked through the names and birthdays on the backs of the two jade pendants. After confirming that they were correct, she took away the jade pendant with Xie Yixiao's birthday and birthdates engraved on it, and then put a packet of red seals on it.
Although most of the betrothal jade pendants were prepared by the husband's family, after all, they belong to the girl. The red envelope given to the jade pendant is regarded as money to buy back the jade pendant. However, there is no need to really talk about the value of the jade pendant, as long as it makes sense.
Then, it is the stage where the unmarried couple gives each other a token of engagement, giving each other their own jade pendants.
Xie Yixiao held Rong Ci's jade pendant and gently ran her fingertips over the engraved words on the back, feeling a slight itchiness in her fingertips.
Finally, the two families took out the letter of appointment, which read:
Good forecast period
The relative of the government, Weng Rumian:
The young son Rong's Zi Ci and the noble Xie's daughter should laugh at the matchmaker's words, foretelling the good relationship between the Qin and Jin Dynasties.
This is a match made in heaven, a match made in heaven.
...
I praised this marriage for a long time and felt that it was a match made in heaven. There is no more suitable marriage in the world.
Finally, the date is attached, February 12, the twenty-eighth year of Yuanping in the Eastern Ming Dynasty.
Yuanping is the name of His Majesty's current reign, which means "the world begins to be at peace". It is already the twenty-eighth year of His Majesty's reign as emperor. The world is as the world wishes, peace is good, and the people live in peace.
Later, the position of the wedding date will be empty. When the wedding date is set, the date will be added. When the date comes, the man will come and marry his bride away.
Both parties confirmed that it was correct, and then signed their signatures as evidence. The official matchmaker also acted as a matchmaker under the control of the government. As a witness, she also needed to certify.
Thereafter, this is a valid letter of appointment.
Mrs. Rong Guogong was very happy with the engagement letter: "Okay, it will be a great joy to get married today. Madam Xie, please rest assured that Yixiao will marry me in the future, and I will definitely not let anyone bully her."
Mrs. Xie said: "She is still young, and there are always things she doesn't do well. Please be more considerate of her in the future."
Duke Rongguo said: "You don't know what kind of person I am, what kind of person I am. Since she is my daughter-in-law, I will definitely protect her."
Mrs. Xie naturally knows what kind of person Mrs. Rong Guogong is. Although she has a noble status, she is also broad-minded and is not someone who makes things difficult for her daughter-in-law.
Who in this imperial city doesn't envy having a mother-in-law like her.
The group of people complimented each other again, and Mrs. Xie smiled at Xie Yi and said, "You don't have to stay here. You can also take the Ninth Young Master to Qingwei Garden for a walk, so that we don't disturb your eyes."
So the newly engaged couple were pushed out of the door by a group of people.
When they walked to the door, they saw that the ground was wet. It was not a good time to go for a walk.
The two looked at each other and were speechless for a moment.
"How about..." Xie Yixiao suggested, "How about going to Qingshan Garden? Ninth Young Master likes my father's collection of books very much, so go there and have a look. It just rained. Qingwei Garden
It’s really wet everywhere, so it’s really not a good time to go there.”
Rong Ci saw some expectation in her eyes and seemed a little nervous, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
