Chapter 555 Preparing for Marriage
Xie Zhiwei is so clever, he immediately said, "Is it for Cousin Mo and Third Sister?"
"That's not true!" Yuan Shi said, "I heard from Mammy that your second aunt is very fond of the girl from Xie's family. She has been so anxious for the past two days that her mouth is blistered."
Xie Zhiwei said, "Mother might as well listen to what Third Aunt said, Dad is now a general, and Xie's family and Yuan's family are relatives by marriage, there is nothing wrong with getting closer."
Hearing what Xie Zhiwei said, Mrs. Yuan felt a little more at ease. At night, Mrs. Qian came back and came to talk to her. Mrs. Yuan took the opportunity to listen to Mrs. Qian's mind.
Ms. Qian has learned to be smart now, knowing that she has no control over the marriage of her children, so she said to go back and discuss it with Xie Shibo.
Fortunately, the next day, Mrs. Qian came again and said to Mrs. Yuan, "We as parents don't have any objections. It depends on what the old man says. Sister-in-law, you also know that the old man has nothing to do with the marriages of brothers and sisters." Inquiry."
Yuan Shi also knew this truth, and couldn't be in a hurry for a while.
Xie Tiao was relaxing at home every day, and from time to time called Xie Zhiwei to play chess with him. Seeing that Yuan was anxious, Xie Zhiwei saw the opportunity and said straight to Xie Tiao, "Grandfather, my mother and third aunt have been discussing the situation of my third sister these two days. For marriage, the second aunt of the Yuan family wants to marry the third aunt."
Xie Tiao thought for a while, then asked, "Sister Wei, what do you think? What do you think of this marriage?"
"Marriage is good with two surnames. Xie's family and Yuan's family are originally in-laws. There is no problem of inappropriate households. Now it depends on what the third sister and Cousin Mo think. The granddaughter thinks that this matter, we are anxious There's no rush either."
Xie Tiao laughed loudly, and told Xie Zhiwei the news he had received, "I heard that King Chen fought Beiqi on the winter solstice and captured Yingzhou."
Xie Zhiwei was overjoyed immediately, his eyes crooked with a smile, Zhending Mansion is adjacent to Yingzhou, in this way, they are connected together, and Xiao Xun's fief area is even bigger.
"My lord is amazing!" Xie Zhiwei couldn't help saying.
She returned to Yizhaoyuan, there was a letter on the table, Xie Zhiwei knew it was from Xiao Xun when she saw the handwriting, her heart felt like a deer was jumping, she took the letter, went into the study, and shut herself in the study, Open the letter.
"Mei Meiqing, seeing words is like meeting..."
When Xie Zhiwei saw the beginning, his face was burnt immediately, he pursed his lips, spat in his heart, and looked down, the letter said how he played tricks on the enemy soldiers on the border and beat them dizzy, He was so proud of himself and claimed credit that he was not injured all this time, isn't he amazing?
At the end of the letter, Xiao Xun said that he would come back as soon as possible. He had already arranged someone to watch the house at the Zhending Mansion. At the beginning, she might be wronged, but soon, he would bring down Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures In the future, they will build a palace in Yanjing and so on.
On the eighth day of the lunar new year, an imperial decree came from the palace, and Xie Zhiwei was conferred the title of Concubine Chen. The wedding date between her and Xiao Xun was set in April, and there were only three months left before the big wedding.
Ms. Yuan was panicked at first, and now she is even more panicked. Although Xie Zhiwei's dowry has been saved since the day she was born, this is the first time she has married a daughter, and she doesn't know what to do.
Mr. Kang came to Xie’s house on the 13th day of the first lunar month, and invited Mrs. Yuan to eat steamed buns made with new wheat on the 16th. This is a southern custom.
Yuan Shi spread her hands and said, "You saw it too, where can I find time now? I also asked you about the things you are thinking about. The old man and the third siblings have no objections, mainly because of the two children. .”
Ms. Kang was overjoyed, but also nervous, "I asked Brother Mo. Thanks to the Princess, Brother Mo met the third girl and was very satisfied. I don't know what the third girl means?"
Yuan could only say, "Since that's the case, I'll ask Meimei to help you. Second sister-in-law, you always know more than me. You can help me find out about Meimei's marriage. Alas, fortunately, mother is here. You tell mother not to go back to Fuzhou for the time being, and help me get over the difficulties in front of me first."
The Kang family naturally had nothing to do, and after a few instructions to the Yuan family, they rushed back.
The old couple of the Yuan family originally planned to return to Fuzhou after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Kang has been making preparations for the past two days. When he returned home, he went to the old lady's room and told Yuan's request, "Mother , or you can stay in the capital for a while, since the princess is getting married, someone from the family must go to Xie's house for a wedding."
Seeing that his own son is going to marry the Xie family, the Kang family is now paying more and more attention to the Xie family's aunt.
The old lady has only one daughter, Yuan Shi, who has always been very precious to her. Since her daughter encounters difficulties, she will help her a lot. "I will talk to the old man later."
Of course, the old man is all right. If the old lady doesn't accompany him, he can go all the way on horseback, which is faster. He had discussed with Xie Tiao's in-laws several times about the matter of the Shibosi. With the charter, it was related to his grandson and son-in-law, so he had to go back and speed up the action.
Mrs. Yuan specially went to Xie Zhiwei's room. Xie Zhiwei was instructing the maidservants to draw flowers. When he saw his mother coming, he hurriedly got up to greet her.
"Sit down, I'll tell you a few things, I still have things to do."
"No matter how busy my mother is, she should take care of her health."
Xie Zhiwei raised her hand and asked all the maids in the room to go out. She personally brewed tea and handed it to Yuan Shi. Yuan Shi was flattered, "How can I ask you to do it yourself? What if it burns?"
As she said that, Yuan Shi first talked about the dowry, and then said, "What your father meant is to make two sets of furniture and the like, one set will be sent to Prince Xiang's Mansion, and the other set will be sent to Zhending Mansion. There is no suitable house in Zhending Mansion yet, your father is going to ask the steward of the family to go and see if he can find a better house, and we will buy it."
Xie Zhi smiled and said, "Mother, please tell my father that the mansion over there in Zhending Mansion, the prince is already looking for it. I will buy it and repair it. I'm afraid it will be the end of the year. I want to go to Zhending Mansion next year. The time is good." It's early, don't worry too much."
Yuan shi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's right, you won't be sent to Zhending mansion as soon as you get married. Only this year, you are in Prince Xiang's mansion, and there is a mother-in-law on top, which really makes mother anxious! "
"Mother, don't worry, by the way, is the second aunt here because of the third sister?"
"Yes, is your third aunt dissatisfied with this marriage? Don't give me an accurate answer. I originally wanted you to ask your third sister what she meant, but I think it's better for your third aunt to ask."
In case the couple can't get along in the future, shouldn't the daughter be dragged into it? Yuan's will inevitably have selfishness.
After finishing speaking, Yuan asked her daughter not to tire herself out, and then left.
She just left when Xie Zhiqian came, her face was red, Xie Zhiwei knew why she came when she saw it, and said with a smile, "Come and sit down!"
The first update!
