Almost wherever the two of them went, people's eyes followed them.
Cang Xiu
"It doesn't make sense that even if you are an old god like you, I should be noticed and saluted by others."
Cang Xiuxuan wasn't upset, he just let her pick it if she wanted to, "Can't you see that I enjoy it?"
Song Chen tilted his head, "Enjoy? What to enjoy?"
Cang Xiuxuan held her hand tighter, "Of course I am enjoying the envious eyes of others. They are looking at us."
Cang Xiuxuan emphasized the last two words.
Song Chen immediately became happy after understanding this. This was another confession without leaving any trace.
"It seems you like us very much."
Cang Xiuxuan raised his eyebrows, "Don't you like us?"
"I like it, we, me and you, we are together."
In the noisy street, no one could hear what they were saying, but the contented expressions on their faces could tell how good their relationship was.
Naturally, how happy these two people are, how envious they are.
In the past, they only knew that the regent was decisive in killing, but they didn't know that he was also so gentle in private.
Of course, they are also self-aware and know that Cang Xiuxuan's tenderness is only for Song Chen.
Walking from the street to the end of the street, the previous unhappiness could no longer affect anyone. Finally, Cang Xiuxuan pulled Song Chen to a stop.
After gesturing to a certain place, the person stood behind Song Chen.
Song Chen didn't know what he was doing, so she turned to look at him. At this moment, Cang Xiuxuan's hands held her head, and a low-pitched voice sounded in her ears, "Don't move, raise your head."
look."
Song Chen raised his head following the slight strength of his hand, and brilliant sparks instantly appeared in the sky.
"Fireworks!"
Looking at that beautiful moment in the sky, Song Chen's mood was as gorgeous as the fireworks.
"Thousands of trees bloom at night, and the falling stars blow like rain."
The Lantern Festival has always had the custom of setting off fireworks. In previous years, the dignitaries and wealthy businessmen competed with each other from soon after lighting up the lanterns until they were all gone. But this year, due to the severe drought last year, these dignitaries and nobles seemed to have no intention of doing so.
The fireworks were set off by Cang Xiuxuan for Song Chen.
"I hope my Chen'er will be as gorgeous as fireworks in this life."
Cang Xiuxuan leaned down and murmured in Song Chen's ear. Song Chen leaned in his arms and let him hug her.
My heart was completely moved.
"My life is beautiful because of you, Cang Xiuxuan. Meeting you is my greatest luck."
No matter in her previous life or this life, Cang Xiuxuan was the most beautiful existence in her life. She often felt that this was God compensating her for living such a cold life in her previous life.
In this life, she met such a beautiful person like him.
At first she didn't know how wonderful the taste of love was, but now she has deeply realized that it is a kind of poison that people cannot quit after tasting it.
Trapped in it and unable to extricate myself.
But this is also the sweetest candy in life, and it is a candy that can never be eaten, which can last a lifetime.
I searched and searched for two lives, but in the end, I only waited for him to be alone, to accompany and depend on each other, and to carry me together in this life.
Unswerving!
**
At the beginning of February, Cang Xiuxuan invited people to come to propose marriage.
Nacai, asking for names, and Naji were all completed quickly under Cang Xiuxuan's urging.
The next step is to accept the levy, that is, to betrothal. Cang Xiuxuan has already prepared the betrothal gift and is waiting to marry Song Chen into the family.
The first one is the wild geese.
Secondly, there are countless gold and silver jewels, thousands of acres of fertile land, and a number of mansions, all of which are even numbers, meaning they are in pairs. It can really be said that it is a beautiful place.
What is worth mentioning is that the twelve top-quality southern pearls donated by the Shangluo mission were also included in the betrothal gift by Cang Xiuxuan. Anyway, as long as they were good to him, they would all be given to Song Chen.
Send it.
It was like handing over all his family fortune to Song Chen.
"This wild goose was also hunted back by Cang Xiuxuan himself. He specifically asked us not to send it here without any mistakes. In addition, this is the betrothal gift list. Please take a look at it."
Song Chen was hiding in his room, and the people who came to offer the job did not express any intention to send these things directly to Song Chen. After all, there were parents above him, and this kind of thing still had to be handled by his parents. They also believed that Song Chen
Chen's parents would not pay attention to her betrothal gift.
Song Dashan tremblingly took over the long betrothal gift list, as if what he was holding was not a stack of paper, but all those things were pressed into his hands.
Just listening to what they sang, he felt as if he was listening to a book from heaven.
They guessed that given how much the prince valued his family Xiaochen, the betrothal gift would be generous, but they never expected that it would be so generous!!!
Even if they have not stayed in Shangjing for a long time, they know that this betrothal gift is probably the only one.
Fortunately, after Song Dashan was stunned for a while, he still remembered that he had business to do, "Everyone, take a rest first."
After saying that, he quickly asked Mrs. Song to go back to the house to prepare red envelopes. She didn't expect so many people to come, and the red envelopes were not prepared enough.
Soon, Mrs. Song Wang came out with a large plate of red envelopes and distributed them one by one to those who carried the betrothal gifts.
This is etiquette.
The people who brought the betrothal gifts were all Cang Xiu Xuan people, and they didn't know how to find people to find ways to get money. However, they happily accepted the red envelopes given at this time, which was considered to be a blessing to their master.
"We will send these betrothal gifts and gift lists to Xiaochen later, please don't worry, Your Majesty."
They will turn all these things into dowry for Song Chen to take away when she gets married. She will later marry into the palace. As parents, they don't have much to give her. With these betrothal gifts, she can also
Have more confidence.
They would not focus on their daughter's betrothal gift, and the prince would naturally not focus on her dowry. These are things that truly belong to Song Chen.
"I'm sure we'll be busy next time, so let's take our leave first."
After the people left, Song Dashan and the others called Song Chen out.
Song Chen was shocked when she saw the yard full of things. She really didn't believe that he could get so many things in such a short time. He must have prepared them long ago.
He stepped forward and opened a few boxes at random, which contained either gold, silver or jade.
One of them is actually filled with title deeds!!!
Song Chen suddenly had only one word in his mind: trench!
It's inhumane.
"This is the betrothal gift list. Keep it carefully. The prince wants to finish the six gifts quickly. The dowry your parents have prepared for you is not very large. You can take it all with you when the time comes."
Song Dashan handed the betrothal gift list to Song Chen's hands.
In fact, they still can't believe that their daughter is about to marry into the prince's palace. If God hadn't had mercy on her daughter to wake up, they would be struggling with their lives now, and it is more likely that they would have been in this situation.
I starved to death in a severe drought.
The life they have now is all because of their daughter.
If they had a choice, they would rather their daughter marry an ordinary family.
Fortunately, the prince is really kind to his daughter, and he has put a lot of thought into these betrothal gifts.
Song Chen took the dowry list without rejecting it and put it away without looking at it. If their family was a wealthy family, they might keep some of the betrothal gifts and prepare a dowry for her.
But this was the situation in their family. If these betrothal gifts were left at home, she and Cang Xiuxuan would think nothing of it, but others would think too much and think his parents were greedy.
His parents didn't have this idea, and there was no need for them to leave such a reason for others to talk about.
Before she gets married, she will leave enough things for her family, enough for her family to have enough food and clothing.
After the appointment came the interview period. Su Mi was solely responsible for this matter. He knew that the prince was very anxious, so the date was chosen on the second day of March, which was an auspicious day.
It is suitable for offering sacrifices, collecting wealth, and marrying.
Cang Xiuxuan was very satisfied with this day.
Even if the Song family feels anxious about this day, they will not object to anything at this time.
After all, they also knew that they had previously agreed to get married two years later, and the reason for the change was because their daughter had agreed.
The morning and evening are the same.
But after all, the mother was still reluctant to let go of her daughter. On the day when the wedding date was set, Mrs. Song hid in the house alone for a long time. When she came out again, her eyes were red.
Song Dashan stepped forward to comfort her, "Children always have to leave home when they grow up. Xiaochen is lucky, so don't be too sad."
"That's the truth, but whenever I think about Xiaochen getting married, I feel uncomfortable. After all, we owe this child..."
Where is the knot in Song Wang's heart, how could Song Dashan not know about it.
"After all, I met my beloved. Isn't this the best result? It's not like I can't be nice to her in the future. There are no elders on the prince's side. If I have a child, you still have to take care of her."
These words could be said to have touched the heart of the Song Wang family.
"I have thought about Xiaohe and my daughter-in-law. I will tell them when Xiaochen goes out. If Xiaochen gets pregnant first, I have to help Xiaochen first."
"Both Xiaohe and my daughter-in-law understand."
Song Chen happened to be outside when the two of them were talking about this. He couldn't laugh or cry when he heard their conversation. This marriage was just to make Cang Xiuxuan feel at ease. The matter of having a child was still far away.
They were thinking too far ahead.
But she didn't mean to make it clear first, which would save her mother from crying again.
In fact, Song Chen, the bride-to-be, is the most leisurely person. Cang Xiuxuan is preparing for everything, so she doesn't need to worry about it at all. She doesn't need to worry about it either. Anyway, he always does things safely.
After the wedding date was set, Cang Xiuxuan also had someone announce the date. Everyone in the capital knew that the regent was getting married.
The whole trip to Beijing was full of joy.
This should be regarded as the biggest happy event from last year to this year.
**
Second day of March
All the people who came to Beijing were dressed in costumes, and the streets and alleys were filled with red lanterns.
Before dawn, Song Chen was pulled up and started to prepare. It took nearly an hour just to open the face. Song Chen's face turned red again and again while the cotton rope was going back and forth.
Her tears were squeezed out.
"Hurry up and put your tears away. No tears are allowed on this happy day."
The woman who was responsible for helping Song Chen conduct interviews found the one with the best skills in Beijing. This task was originally done by the elders of the family, but the Song family was not from Beijing in the first place and had no relatives here.
To put it another step back, even if the relatives of the Song family come, none of them will be able to stand on the stage.
When getting married, what matters most is auspiciousness. Seeing Song Chen's eyes turn red, the woman who was helping him to open the interview quickly stopped what she was doing and waited until Song Chen calmed down before continuing.
This way, time is wasted a lot.
Song Chen also knew about the matter of having sex, which was only once in a woman's life in ancient times. She didn't want to do this, but she couldn't bear the physiological effects.
"Is this done?"
She really didn’t want to continue, and she didn’t know who came up with the idea of torturing the bride like this. Could it be that the bride who was first tortured was a hairy girl?
Are you afraid that the groom will scare others when he lifts his hijab, so you have to use this method to wring out all the hair on his face?
"How can this be done? The girl is patient and will be fine soon. Every married woman has to go through this. I will try my best to make the girl suffer as little as possible."
When the woman who opened the door heard what Song Chen said, she subconsciously stretched out her hand to hold Song Chen down and tried to explain.
It made Song Chen dumbfounded.
"I won't run, please hurry up, I can't stand it anymore."
The woman also realized that her behavior was a bit inappropriate, and quickly said with a smile, "Okay, miss, just be patient for a little longer, it will be fine. A smooth and smooth person like you, after opening my face,
It’s even more beautiful.”
Song Chen could only smile bitterly in his heart.
Isn't it more beautiful? Her face was turned red.
The Song Wang family, Song Liu family and Chen Sining who were accompanying him all laughed and persuaded Song Chen.
Mrs. Song Wang: "Opening your face means that you are going to get married and become a woman. The pain will only last for a moment."
Mrs. Song Liu: "Xiaochen, please bear with me. I came here like this at that time."
Chen Sining: "Anyone can open it, everyone can open it."
The first two people have experienced it, but Chen Sining has not. At this moment, he was persuading Song Chen while trembling in his heart.
She could clearly see Song Chen's expression just now. The pain was really... When she thought that she would be like this when she got married next month, her mood was really beyond words to describe.
Fortunately, the woman who opened the interview really did what she said, speeding up the process, and even if it hurt again, it would be over soon.
Song Chen breathed a long sigh of relief, the torture was finally over, but his face was still burning with pain.
It was enough for her to taste this once.
The next step is to comb your hair, which is also an important step.
Mrs. Wang of the Song Dynasty took the comb and recited an auspicious saying every time she combed it.
"Comb it all the way to the end."
"Comb your white hair with two combs to the level of your eyebrows."
"Three combs will be combed until the children and grandchildren are everywhere."
"Comb it four times until the four silver bamboo shoots are evenly matched."
