The lees fish on Qiao Yuyan's chopsticks fell to the table with a bang. She quickly went to wipe it with a handkerchief, but Wen Tingyuan's handkerchief reached over first and cleaned the table for her.
Qiao Yuyan heard him chuckle, "Why do you still eat like a child?"
"You...you mean recently?" Qiao Yuyan thought for a while, but still couldn't say the word "marriage" directly.
She didn't know what was going on in her mind. Logically speaking, this was what they had agreed upon, and it was just an act.
But I just feel awkward in my heart.
"Yes! As soon as possible," Wen Tingyuan's face was very calm, as if he was discussing some important business. After wiping the table, he took out another clean handkerchief and wiped the corner of her mouth for her.
of sauce.
"Why?"
Qiao Yuyan knew that the elders in the family were discussing the wedding date, but generally speaking, it would take at least half a year from the time of discussion to the official date.
This is still short. Some people cherish girls and may delay it for a year or two, especially for someone like Qiao Yuyan who is only thirteen or fourteen years old.
But from what he meant, it was clear that it was not based on normal circumstances.
"Your Majesty's illness is so severe this time that I'm afraid it won't last too long. However, if it happens to be a national mourning or something happens, I don't know what year or month it will be."
Qiao Yuyan felt that this reason was not sufficient. It was not just the two of them who were engaged today. So, could it be that they had to get married as soon as possible?
Wen Tingyuan seemed to know what she was thinking, "You also heard what those three people confessed that day. You must have also sent a letter to ask the Xu family, but you didn't dare to say it directly in the letter.
, so it’s best to ask someone to make a trip.
There is no one around you who is really useful, and even if it is useful, you may not be able to trust it. If we get married as soon as possible and then find a reason to go to Jiangzhou to visit relatives, everything will be safe."
Qiao Yuyan's heart moved and she had to admit that this was a good idea. During this period of time, she had not waited for a reply from the Xu family. She did not know whether the letter had not been delivered or whether her grandmother did not understand the meaning of the letter.
But she didn't dare to ask any more questions. Just as Wen Tingyuan said, she didn't dare to send someone over to ask rashly.
If you plan to visit the couple after getting married, then it will be natural.
"Then...you want...when?"
"October 16th is a good day. Once this matter is settled, we can set off in mid-November and spend the New Year in Jiangzhou."
Wen Tingyuan's words made Qiao Yuyan very moved, and she couldn't help but smile, but then she thought of another thing, "It's not good to not spend the first year at home after getting married, isn't it?"
After saying that, she noticed a strange smile on Wen Tingyuan's face, which made her a little confused, "What's wrong?"
"I'm laughing. I made the right choice to find you. You see, you haven't married yet, so you thought about it for me first."
Qiao Yuyan's face turned red and she tried to keep a serious look, "Since I said I would take care of the affairs of the back house for you, I will naturally not break my promise. This is what I will do in the future!"
"Okay, okay, you did a good job," Wen Tingyuan waved his hand to stop the topic, "How do you feel about this day?"
How about it? Qiao Yuyan has no idea. Calculating, there are only a dozen days left. If you hurry up during this period, you should have all the things you need to prepare. Logically speaking, it won't be a big problem.
It's just that when he asked this question, it was hard for her to answer. Could it be that she just answered it?
"Have you discussed this with the elders? Do they think it's too hasty?"
After Qiao Yuyan asked this question, she felt relieved, and her meaning was obvious.
Sure enough, the smile on Wen Tingyuan's face deepened a little, "You don't have to worry about this. Since I can propose this time, it must be foolproof."
"Oh!" Qiao Yuyan responded lightly and stopped talking.
Wen Tingyuan no longer insisted that she speak. After the two of them finished eating, he got up and sent her to meet the old lady.
What makes Qiao Yuyan find it amazing is that when the two unmarried men and women walked over together, no one else showed any surprise.
Old Mrs. Wen even smiled and nodded at her, and then helped her get into the carriage.
Mrs. Wen's eyes wandered from the two of them from time to time, but that was all.
After the carriage left Wen's house, the old lady smiled and asked, "What? The food there should be better?"
Qiao Yuyan's face immediately turned red, "No... no, Princess Jiahe was talking nonsense there, and he happened to touch her and took me away.
And he got a new chef from Jiangzhou, and I haven’t eaten there in Jiangzhou for a long time..."
After saying this, she couldn't speak anymore. The old lady smiled and nodded her head, "Fortunately, I am usually very smart in managing things at home. Why can't I be so clear about this matter?"
If the marriage between the two families hadn't already been planned, and if we hadn't known that the child wasn't harboring evil intentions, you wouldn't have even known it before you were skinned, weighed, and sold!"
Qiao Yuyan thought for a while after hearing this. If she hadn't had that kind of relationship with Wen Tingyuan, she would never have been alone with him like this.
So from other people's perspective, isn't this just unclear?
The embarrassment on Qiao Yuyan's face became even greater. After all, there was no way to argue with this matter.
But she immediately remembered the key point in what the old lady said just now, "Grandma, you just said... you said the marriage has been negotiated. What do you mean? The wedding date?"
"Yes!" The old lady looked at her in surprise, and then suddenly realized, "Look, I just forgot about it, I thought your mother told you!
I guess your mother still doesn’t know that the date agreed upon by your father and the Wen family yesterday was violated by rushing to the Holy Eucharist. It would be better to get the matter done as soon as possible to avoid complications, so the date was set for October 10th.
six."
Seeing Qiao Yuyan's dull expression, the old lady held her hand distressedly and patted her gently, "I also know that this day is very rushed, but don't worry, grandma will definitely arrange it for you.
I will never make you feel wronged.
Don't think that the other party is not sincere. From the outside, your marriage has been going on for a long time. It's not that you don't take it seriously. The rest is that they are busy with the new house. This is all ready-made.
Preparing the dowry is a bit of a rush."
It turned out that everything had been discussed, and she still asked herself in a pretentious manner. Qiao Yuyan felt a little sad, but after listening to the old lady's words, she had to put on a shy look.
The grandfather and grandson arrived at Ninghe Hall all the way. The old lady wanted to talk to her in detail about the dowry, but suddenly she heard the announcement that Mrs. Xu was here.
