Chapter Sixty-Nine, Rejoicing in the Engagement
"I've seen my aunt and uncle. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" Bai Qianyu behaved generously and politely, so that people couldn't find a little mistake. Bei Wanwan and Luo Tian looked at Luo Qi and looked at the doting in Bai Qianyu's eyes, and chuckled. Even Bei Wanwan, who had a lot of complaints before, was very satisfied with Bai Qianyu, and there were not many people who could make Luo Qi really happy. The plain but warm meeting passed like this.
In the evening, the three sisters of the Bai family gathered in Bai Yanran's small courtyard. According to the tradition of the Northern Emperor, the bride to be married, on the night before the wedding, is generally accompanied by her sisters and sisters, and if there are no sisters, she is accompanied by her mother. No, Bai Qianqian and Bai Qianyu came with orders. This is also the first time Bai Qianyu has stepped into this somewhat remote courtyard. Compared with her and Bai Qianqian's courtyard, this small courtyard is more quiet and secluded. It is full of green bamboos and plum blossoms, but it is not winter, the plum blossoms do not bloom, and the plum trees are a little desolate.
As the bride who is about to get married tomorrow, Bai Yanran is not happy at all. It's been two days since she's lost contact with the Lord, could something have happened? She was already upset, but she had to cheer up to face the cumbersome wedding, and the person who kept talking in her ear.
"Eldest sister, you're about to become the crown princess in a blink of an eye! Think about how fast time flies. Bai Qianqian looked at the festive red color in the room, and her tone was indescribable.
"Hmmm! Yu'er is also getting engaged! Bai Yanran suppressed the irritability in her heart and smiled lightly. As soon as these words came out, it was as if the pause button had been pressed, and the air was silent. Bai Qianyu didn't hear what they were saying at all, and had already entered a meditative state. For a long time, no one broke this embarrassment, and the dawn came.
Rejoicing, Bai Yanran got married, the relationship between the Bai family and the royal family went further, and Bai Yanran became the happiest woman in the entire Northern Emperor Empire. As for the truth, only the person concerned knows. Seeing Bai Yanran away, everyone in the Bai family was still busy, because Bai Qianyu's engagement banquet began immediately.
In the Northern Emperor Empire, when engaged, it was necessary to exchange posts and exchange engagement tokens. The exchange of posts is quite exquisite, generally with a red lacquer gift box, the man should be in the box with the dragon and phoenix stickers in the dragon sticker and the post (mostly earrings, rings or bracelets), but also to feed the woman a few sets of clothing. After that, the woman can legitimately be with the man in and out of pairs.
The dragon and phoenix stickers are more than a foot long, about five inches wide, and one inch thick, which can be folded continuously, and is a kind of printing material specially used for marriage. For the man, it is a green dragon sticker, with two coiled dragons printed on the title page; For the woman, it is a pink phoenix post, and the title page is printed with a pair of flying phoenixes.
This kind of dragon and phoenix post is equivalent to a marriage certificate in the 21st century and has a certain legal effect.
-- Once the dragon and phoenix posts have been passed on to each other, it shows that the marriage contract has been signed and that they have become married, and unless there is a special reason, they are generally not allowed to repent at will, and that will be condemned by public opinion. Knowing the agreement between the Bai family and the Rich family, Beiyuan also let Luo Qi and Bai Qianyu get engaged, and his Sima Zhao's heart is really known to passers-by. However, neither of the parties cared, and it didn't matter if they left them alone. The power of the Bai family and the First Pavilion is enough to face those intrigues.
Of course, such a cumbersome and complicated matter as the engagement was presided over by the two sisters, Bei Wanwan and Bei Yiyi, and the two big men, Luo Tian and Bai Yi, were responsible for receiving the guests attending the engagement banquet.
After Bai Qianyu got on the sedan chair with Bai Yanran, she was immediately pulled away by the laughter and laughter that she hadn't seen for a long time and had been transferred to Bei Yiyi's side to serve. Cleansing, applying makeup, combing, and setting makeup. Bai Qianyu emptied himself and let them toss. It's just that in the end, he looked at the many hairpins on his head, frowned dissatisfiedly, and gave an order, and the laughter and laughter finally broke up the hair and started all over again.
Wearing a red cloud sleeve gauze skirt, covered with a brocade robe of the same color, and pedaling a pair of fine brocade gilt shoes, while walking, the gauze skirt fluttered gently, and the anklet made of a string of black spirit fruit cores at the ankle made a pleasant ding sound. The hair was pulled up in half, and the snow-white green bamboo hairpin that Luo Qi gave her at the beginning was inserted, which complemented the exquisite makeup, such a white light language is a stunner that should only be seen in the sky and is rare in the world.
Luo Qi was wearing a black brocade robe embroidered with gold edges, the fitting cut just set off his well-proportioned figure more upright, and the waist was a dark red and gold hooked belt, and a string of big red Chinese knots made by Bai Qianyu himself when he was in the academy. The cute baby face is cute, because of the majesty in those blue eyes, adding a bit of masculinity.
When the two appeared together, everyone only felt that they should be a natural pair, and only they could interpret black and red so perfectly.
Bai Qianyu looked at the Chinese knot on Luo Qi's waist, and a trace of guilt overflowed in his eyes. Luo Qi has paid so much for her and given him so many gifts, and the only thing she has given him is the Chinese knot. And the Chinese knot was not given to him, but to the killing. One day, on a whim, she made a Chinese knot hanging on the body of the knife as an ornament, and on a whim, she knitted one for the killing. Who knew that Luo Qi would cherish it so much. And in Luo Qi's heart, it was made by shallow hands, which had a different meaning.
"Did the Bai family forget the agreement with my Rich family?" The scene of joy was broken by a sudden tenor. There was a bang, and it was the sound of a guard of the Bai family being kicked to the ground. The next person who appeared in everyone's eyes was Eric Richie, as well as a group of people from the Rich family, and Bai Qianyu also saw Mullin Yuan in the crowd. This is the rhythm of stirring up trouble.
"The agreement between the Bai family and the Rich family, Bai naturally dare not forget. Is it just that the little girl has anything to do with the affinity and the agreement? If Master Rich comes to celebrate, Bai will naturally welcome it, but if it is trouble, don't blame me for sending off guests. Bai Yiwei'an's figure stood in front of Bai Qianyu, like a big tree, sheltering her from the wind and rain, fatherly love like a mountain, silent but deep.
"Master of the Bai family, in half a year, Bai Qianyu is going to marry into my Richie family, and if you do this now, you are clearly slapping my Richie family in the face." The anger in Eric's heart was about to burn him, but he was still trying to suppress it, he knew that it was just in vain for him to make trouble, and with the current strength of the Rich family, it was not appropriate to tear his face with the Bai family. It's just that this Bai family is really too deceitful.
"Young Master Richie, are you so sure, in half a year, the Richie family will definitely win? Too confident, but good at wrestling. Bai Qianmo, who has always been gentle, hides a knife in his soft words. Also standing in front of Bai Qianyu in the posture of protector, although he knew. Today's shallow language may not need its own protection at all. The gesture of protecting her to the end is touching. This is the family, the family that Bai Qianyu dreamed of.
"Master Bai, Young Master Bai, all this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. Young Master Eric was just angry, not really causing trouble. We are here, naturally, to congratulate Miss Qianyu. Mu Linyuan on the side grabbed the angry Eric and said politely. He turned his head and whispered something in Eric's ear, and Eric gradually regained his composure.
"Since it's a celebration, let's invite everyone to take a seat." The farce ended, the cheerful music came, and Bai Qianyu and Luo Qi exchanged engagement tokens with each other according to Bei Wanwan's instructions.
