Time flies by in a hurry, and the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month arrives in a blink of an eye. As the New Year approaches, the capital is decorated with lights and colorful lights, giving it a New Year feel.
But the whole city is eagerly looking forward to tomorrow's wedding in Xie Qiao's second house.
Five days ago, Xie's merchant ship arrived in the capital from Huaizhou and occupied the entire dock. It is not known how many people from the Xie family came and how many things they brought with them. They worked all day and all night, and a stream of carriages and horses were transported from the dock to the capital's general's palace and the capital. Xie Yuan's wedding residence.
The Marquis of Jingan's Mansion was also decorated with red silk and red lanterns all over the house, making it full of joy.
Knowing that Qiao Yin didn't have many friends in Beijing, although she had already given her some make-up, Jiang Ningyao still brought a group of officials and ladies to the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion to add make-up to Qiao Yin and give her a gift early in the morning. Congratulations before leaving the cabinet.
Qiao Yin entertained them enthusiastically. They were all girls of the same age. They had different personalities, but they were also cute in their own way. Within half a day, Qiao Yin got into trouble with them and made an appointment to go to enjoy the lanterns together next time. Go for an outing and fly a kite.
Everyone sent their own gifts and blessings. Among the gifts, a double-sided embroidered screen attracted Qiao Yin's attention.
On one side of the screen is a picture of camellias with magpies crowing on their branches, and on the other side is a picture of red plum blossoms weighed down by snow. They are so exquisite that they look like the flowers are alive, and they are pleasing to the eye wherever they are placed.
Qiao Yin couldn't put it down and read it over and over again.
"Which sister gave this to me? It's so beautiful."
"Miss Yan of the Prime Minister's Office asked me to bring this to you. Ruyu is ill and is afraid that her illness will affect your happiness, so she asked me to bring it to you." The person who spoke was a girl who was close to Yan Ruyu.
Qiao Yin was stunned: Yan Ruyu?
She has not seen Yan Ruyu since they left in the paddock, nor has she heard from her.
He didn't have much interaction with Yan Ruyu, so Qiao Yin didn't expect that Yan Ruyu would send such a precious congratulatory gift.
"Then please tell Miss Yan to thank her for her blessing. I will post a message to invite her to tea another day."
Qiao Yin thought to herself that when Yan Ruyu gets married, she must give a good gift in return.
Jiang Ningyao and others sat in the Qiaoyin Courtyard for a while, drank a cup of tea, made an appointment to come back to watch the ceremony tomorrow, and then got up and left with the others.
As soon as he left Qiao Yin's courtyard, he bumped into Xie Ren walking through the archway in the south courtyard.
Jiang Ningyao's eyes paused, but then she turned away, as if she hadn't seen him, and walked away.
As soon as Xie Ren passed through the arch, he saw Jiang Ningyao. Even among the group of people, the figure with her back always straightened was always the most eye-catching.
Xie Ren paused and turned sideways, pretending to look at the scenery.
He came to see Qiao Mo.
Xie Yu'an originally wanted to arrange for him to go experience the suppression of bandits in Minzhou, but he didn't want to go.
Qiao Mo accepted this job, which just relieved his worries. He came to express his gratitude.
He has no interest in becoming an official and making a fortune. There are so many people in his family, all of whom are more capable than him, and no one is missing him.
Life is short, he just wants to be free and do whatever he wants.
If Xie Ren turns around again, Jiang Ningyao will already be gone.
Xie Ren stood there for a while, then raised his head, and suddenly saw the words "Double Happiness" posted on the porch of Qiao's house, and a thought suddenly came to his mind:
After the New Year, Jiang Ningyao will be eighteen years old, and it's time to recruit a consort.
She should be like Qiao Yin and Xiao Jiu, and find a stable and reliable consort who can have a romantic and romantic relationship with her.
He's like this...forget it.
……
It was just getting dark and everyone in the house was still busy, but Qiao Yin was rushed to bed early.
"Miss, we are getting married tomorrow and have to get up early to freshen up. Go to bed early."
But, she couldn't sleep at all.
She is going to marry Xie Yuan tomorrow. It's like she is going to take an exam. She is so excited and nervous now that she can't sleep at all.
Will Xie Yuan be nervous too?
He shouldn't be able to, he is confident in everything he does.
Qiao Yin lay on the bed, rehearsing tomorrow's process in his mind, and thinking about what to do if something goes wrong tomorrow. He was excited for a while, and worried for a while. He kept tossing and turning, and he still hadn't closed his eyes until the moon was at the top of the sky.
In the midst of his annoyance, there were three soft sounds from the window.
Knock knock knock——
Qiao Yin was stunned, and when he looked around, he saw a figure reflected in the window.
Like that night.
Qiao Yin wrapped the quilt around him, ran over excitedly, and gently opened the window.
Who is standing outside the window?
Oh, it’s her future husband——Xie Yuan~
"What kind of scoundrel would climb up my lady's window in the middle of the night? I'm warning you, the person standing in front of you is the bride who is going to marry General Dingguo!" Qiao Yin lowered the corners of his mouth and said with a stern face.
Xie Yu'an curved his lips and smiled, "I am General Dingguo, your future husband. General, I came to see if my bride is asleep."
Qiao Yin shook his head: "The bride can't sleep, where is the groom?"
Xie Yu'an also shook his head: "The groom can't sleep either."
Qiao Yin glanced at him and laughed out loud, "I dare to ask the groom, but are you nervous?"
Xie Yuan pursed his lips and shook his head in denial, "I just miss you."
It's obvious that he is nervous, but he doesn't admit it!
"The groom is not nervous, do you need a hug?"
Qiao Yin wrapped herself in a quilt and leaned against the window coffin, raising her face and asking him.
Xie Yuan opened his hands and took her into his arms.
Qiao Yin pressed her face against his chest, listening to his rapid heartbeat, and said quietly:
"Didn't the matchmaker tell you? The newlyweds can't meet each other the day before the wedding. It would spoil the happiness."
Xie Yuan's body stiffened.
Although he couldn't see it, his expression at the moment was definitely funny, and maybe his pupils were trembling.
Although the marriage process went quickly, Xie Yu'an paid more attention to this marriage than anyone else, and he strived for perfection in all the details that he could think of.
Qiao Yin suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment, like a scumbag teasing a top student and succeeding at it.
She leaned closer to him and said, "It doesn't matter. What you are holding now is just a quilt that has become a sperm."
Xie Yuan's chest shook, and he was laughing.
The day chosen by Master Wu is excellent. The moon is bright tonight, and tomorrow will be a sunny and good weather.
The two hugged each other quietly for a while. Qiao Yin stuck out his head and looked at his face under the moonlight seriously, as if he was talking in sleep, and murmured:
"I will marry you tomorrow, Xie Yuan."
"Being your wife must be the most amazing and beautiful thing in the world."
