Chapter 390 People from Sizhen Fang Shangyi Bureau are here
At that time, the two of them went their separate ways, but who would have expected that in just one year, they would get married and they would get married and become husband and wife in the future.
If he had any regrets about leaving Yunzhong Temple, he actually didn't have any in his heart. He originally wanted to stay in Yunzhong Temple, but he just felt that he was used to such a quiet and peaceful life, and the world was too noisy and full of distractions.
Later, he got used to it and felt that his life was fine, and he didn't feel anything bad about it. Moreover, when he stayed with his family and Miss Xie, he felt a little happy in his heart.
That's fine now.
Xie Yi laughed: "Then let's go see the peach blossoms then. But it's a pity that drinking is not allowed in the temple. If you can drink, then drinking and admiring the flowers outside the pavilion is also an elegant thing."
Rong Ci said: "You really can't drink. If you want to drink and enjoy the peach blossoms, we can find another place."
"OK."
The two sat there talking, as if they were much closer than they had ever been together before. The two talked about their recent affairs.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye before they left Qingshan Garden.
Lu Zhui took Ming Xin and hid, and waited until they were out of the door before the two of them came out.
Mingxin was a little angry: "Why are you dragging me again?"
She still wanted to follow him and serve him.
Lu Zhui snorted: "Aren't I afraid that you will get close to me?"
Mingxin said: "Don't I want to serve you? There is no one around the master, and he can't even take a sip of tea."
Ming Xin thinks this is her duty as a maid, right?
Lu Zhui said again: "You just don't have a good brain. Look at your Ming Jing Qing Luo. If anyone in your family is willing to come over and get in the way, you are stupid..."
Being called stupid in front of him, Ming Xin almost jumped up: "What did you say? What did you say? You Lu Zhui, it's in vain that I gave you three points of good looks for the sake of the Ninth Young Master, and you actually said that about me
stupid!"
This really stirred up a hornet's nest.
Ming was about to hit him in his heart, but Lu Chai later realized that saying he was stupid was a bit too much. He felt that he was wrong, so he had to run away: "I was wrong, oh, don't run after me, you are not stupid."
, I’m stupid, okay? I’m stupid.”
The two chased and fought their way out of Qingshan Garden. Xie Yixiao and Rong Ci hid in a pavilion not far from Qingshan Garden, watching the two people fight and run away.
Xie Yixiao smiled: "These two..."
Rong Ci also shook his head and laughed: "Let's go, let's go there too."
"Okay, let's go."
The two of them returned to the outer courtyard together.
The outer courtyard was still lively at this moment, and after a while, Mrs. Rong Guogong and Mrs. Xie started talking about getting married. Duke Rong's mansion wanted to set the date of getting married in the second half of the year, and would invite people to come after a few days.
Consider it a good day.
Mrs. Xie naturally has no objection. The matter of getting married is also very complicated, and it is not convenient on days that are too cold or too hot. Therefore, many people arrange their marriages in the months of February, March, April, August, September, and November.
However, with the word "four" in the middle of April, people think it is unlucky, so most weddings in the first half of the year are held in February and March. In the second half of the year, there is the Double Ninth Festival in September, and weddings are not popular in that month.
Most people will arrange their marriages in August and October.
If the date is set for the second half of the year, it might be August or October. There are still at least six months to go, and there is enough time to prepare for the wedding.
At noon, everyone in Duke Rong's mansion and the matchmaker of Duke Cao Guo stayed at Xie's house to have lunch. After having enough food and wine, they drank tea and chatted for a while, and then said goodbye.
After the guests left, Xie Yixiao was given the task of checking the betrothal gift list and delivering the cakes and candies sent by the Rong family to the sisters in the clan.
According to custom, the gift cakes and candies sent by the man on the day of engagement are distributed to these sisters who are not yet engaged. It also means to bring joy and hope that they will have a good marriage in the future.
Xie Yixiao took Xie Zhu to work as a coolie.
"Leave some candies for cousin Danshu. I don't know when she will come here. You can't keep the cakes. They will go bad in two or three days. You can keep the candies for a few more days. If she doesn't come by then, I will
Eat it yourself.”
Xie Zhu also helped divide the things into pieces, "There are also two girls from the Changning Marquis Mansion. My aunt wants to give them away?"
I’m talking about Gu Ying and Gu Yan.
At this time, people in the mansion were carrying the betrothal gifts into the house in a steady stream. Xie Yixiao held the gift book in his hand to check it, and nodded after hearing this: "Let's keep one copy each. I will go to the Changning Marquis Mansion tomorrow and give it to them on the way.
Take them there."
Xie Zhu nodded and divided out two more portions.
By the time everything in the house was checked and sent to the warehouse, it was already approaching the delivery time (3 p.m.).
Just like the reward given by His Majesty before, it was too much money and would not be easy to pay for a wedding in the future, so Mrs. Xie exchanged it for her in silver notes.
The rest of the stuff is still there.
Xie Yixiao was surprised by the open-mindedness of these aristocratic families, such as the Changning Marquis Mansion and the Xie family, who were actually willing to take away the betrothal gift given by the man to the girl. The same was true for most families in the imperial city.
However, most of the marriages among aristocratic families are for the sake of good relations between the two families and to support each other in the future. The alliance the family has gained is countless times more valuable than these money and treasures. To show their sincerity, they will not be greedy for this little thing.
Xie Zhu's eyes were full of envy: "This person can get two betrothal gifts, let alone our Dongming. Even if we include the previous dynasty, my little aunt is the only one. In this imperial city,
I don’t know how many people are so envious that their eyes are red.”
It's unique, and it leaves people speechless and unable to fault it.
"No wonder everyone was staring at the Ninth Young Master before."
Xie Yixiao smiled: "It's useless for others to be jealous. Now the marriage has been decided."
"Isn't that right?" Xie Zhu became happy when she heard this. She felt happy when she saw those people were so envious that they could not help her little aunt.
While the group was talking, someone came to report that someone from the Sizhenfang Clothing Bureau in the palace was here, and Mrs. Xie was accompanying them.
Xie Yixiao still couldn't react: "Sizhenfang? Clothing Bureau? From the palace?"
Ming Jing thought of this incident: "I guess I came here to measure the girl's size and make a phoenix crown and wedding dress for the wedding. I also happened to ask the girl what she wanted."
Xie Yixiao understood the words after hearing this, so he said: "Then quickly pack up and have people prepare tea and food."
Probably to allow time for preparation, Mrs. Xie and her people didn't walk very fast, and it took about a quarter of an hour (15 minutes) before they arrived at Chunxueyuan. When Xie Yixiao heard the people coming, he went out of the yard to greet them.
When Mrs. Xie saw her coming out, she introduced her: "Thirteen, these two are Ms. Chen from the Shangyi Bureau and Ms. Song from Sizhenfang."
The two of them saluted together: "I've seen Miss Xie."
