Chapter 189: Letters
Hua Yue was silent for a moment and said, "She doesn't know much. ”
It can be seen from the following that before Xiao Yifei and Su Ying both died, Xiao Yu left Lingnan for the capital.
Hua Yue herself doesn't know much about these details, but she still knows the general situation.
Neither of them spoke again, and the study fell silent.
A few crisp bird chirpings could be heard outside.
After a moment, Zhong Lang remembered something and asked, "Zichen, how are your eyes now?" What did Master say before? Is it really related to that hosta? ”
Hua Yue lowered her eyes, shook her head and said indifferently: "It's not clear, before I had time to interrogate Master, I heard about the King of Thailand's proposal for marriage, and hurried back." I'm going to do it again in a few days. It seems that some light can be felt in both eyes now. ”
Hearing him say this, Zhong Lang's indifferent face couldn't help but soften a lot, and nodded.
Hua Yueyin said: "In a few days, Cunchao will parade the horses in the north of the city to inspect the envoys from the capital, do you want to go and help?" ”
This Zhong Lang was wiping his sword, and said without raising his head: "If you don't go, what am I going to do?" ”
Hua Yue smiled a little and said, "If you don't go, Miss Ling will be disappointed, she is infatuated, can you really be indifferent?" ”
Zhong Lang took a slap in his hand, put his sword into the sheath, and strode out.
Hua Yue in the back smiled away, and her long fingers tapped lightly on the table, falling into deep thought.
Yuanzhi sent the orchid to Xiao's house, and Xiao Yu asked him to bring the flowers to the newly built flower room, and left him for tea.
Such a treat. Yuanzhi didn't accept it, and was resigning, and the porter outside spread the word. The cousin of the General's Mansion came to visit.
Xiao Yu hurriedly asked the people below to hurry up and invite people in.
Yuanzhi also respectfully took his leave.
Xia Zhi next to him smiled and handed over the reward, Yuanzhi refused to accept it, Xiao Yu saw the two pushing around, and immediately waved his hand and said, "If you don't accept it, just accept it." ”
As soon as Yuanzhi left, Ling Yan came in, and when she saw Xiao Yu, she pursed her lips and smiled: "Sister Ah Yu is really a person who has just been engaged, and she has only been seen for a few days. It's getting better and better. ”
Xiao Yu's face was slightly hot, but she had never been a sharp-toothed person, so she just didn't hear it. Thinking that Ling Yan had just come a few days ago, he asked, "The sun is so big today, why did Sister Yan come over?" Be careful, be careful about the heat. ”
After speaking, let the maid go down to make tea. beckoned Ling Yan to sit down.
Ling Yan said with a smile: "There is something serious today. That's why I hurried over. ”
Xiao Yu asked a little strangely: "It's good to let the family go on a trip, isn't it a very important matter?" Sister Yan, you come here in person. ”
While speaking, Yuzhu had already brought the tea himself.
Seeing Xiao Yu's inquiring look, Ling Yan picked up the pastel tea bowl with a peony pattern and took a sip before smiling: "Grandmother Changzhou has sent a letter, urging Sister Ayu to go back and prepare for marriage!" ”
Ling Yan took out the letter from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Xiao Yu.
Yuzhu next to him heard that he was about to go back to Changzhou, and his face couldn't help but show joy. 、
Although Xiao Yu had thought about it soon after knowing the will of marriage, now she has recognized her ancestors and returned to her ancestors in the Xiao family in Lanling. Most of the time when I was going to get married was going home, but now I heard Ling Yan say so. I still feel a little sudden, and I am a little stunned for a while.
After subconsciously taking the letter, Xiao Yu came back to his senses.
The letter was written by Mrs. Xiao herself, and it can be seen between the lines that she is in a good mood, which shows that she is still very satisfied with this marriage.
And the content is not much different from what Ling Yan said, Changzhou has already handed a letter to Ling Yi, asking him to send Xiao Yu back to Changzhou as soon as possible to prepare for marriage.
Xiao Fu's move was reasonable and unexpected.
If there are no special circumstances, whose daughters are to be married at home, and wait for the husband's family to come to greet them, which is in line with the etiquette rules.
The Lanling Xiao family, as a famous family of Daqi, pays more attention to these.
Xiao Yu is the daughter of Xiao Mansion, and Mrs. Xiao will naturally not let her marry in Yuedi, and will definitely take her back to Changzhou.
Although Xiao Yu had thought of this a long time ago, she was still a little hesitant when she received this letter. For her, Yuedi is where she grew up, and she has a deep affection for this place, especially in the Xiao family in the past few years, Xiao Yucheng and Xiao Pei have also become her inseparable relatives.
Nowadays, there are six ceremonies for marriage, asking for names, najib, najib, asking for marriage, and welcoming relatives, and women must learn the way of being a woman before getting married, and prepare all kinds of dowries, which also include some embroidery for prospective mothers-in-law and husbands, and the preparation time for marriage is very long.
Although Xiao Yu was married by a saint this time, omitting a few etiquettes such as asking for a name in front of him, it was precisely because of the marriage that many ceremonies were more solemn than usual, and Xiao Yu, as the county lord, had regulations on all kinds of dowries, and he could not be sloppy at all, and the preparation time would naturally take longer.
Generally speaking, large families begin to prepare dowries for their daughters as early as the birth of their daughters, especially famous families like the Xiao family in Lanling, but because Xiao Yu has just returned to the Xiao family, there is no preparation in the mansion before.
Although there are many valuables in the Xiao family's treasury that can be used as dowries, they still have to be sorted out, and they cannot be completed in a hurry.
In this way, although Xiao Yu and Hua Yue have been married by the saints, it is not uncommon for them to prepare for a year or two to really get married, and most of the princesses and county lords who have married before have done so.
Thinking that maybe this time I would go back to Changzhou for so long, and the daughter to be married couldn't go out at will, I don't know what to do, if Xiao Pei and Ling Yan weren't there, life would be even more unbearable, Xiao Yu couldn't help but show a little reluctance.
Xiao Yu said with some hesitation: "But I still have to help plant corn, sweet potatoes and peanuts, can I go back to Changzhou later?" ”
Seeing this, the smile on Yuzhu's face disappeared a little.
Ling Yan also understood Xiao Yu's thoughts, and immediately said: "For such a major event as marriage, the Holy Lord will not leave you here in Yuedi because of this, Sister Ah Yu must be ready to set off." But don't worry, I've already told my brother to ask you to bring Sister Xiao Pei with you. ”
Xiao Yu was stunned and then overjoyed: "Yes, I can let Sister Ah also go to Changzhou to have a look." What about Yucheng? And Sister Yan, will you go back with you? ”
Ling Yan hesitated a little: "I haven't decided yet." ”
In fact, Ling Yan's mother, Mrs. Ling, had the intention to let her go back, but she didn't want to be so far away from Zhong Lang, and Zhong Lang and Hua Yue would definitely not go to Changzhou with them this time, so she probably couldn't accompany Xiao Yu back to Changzhou.
It would be nice if Xiao Yu could really stay here until the wedding date was almost there, but this is unlikely.
Ling Yan then said, "I will tell my brother and ask him to allow Vice General Xiao to go to Changzhou together, so that you can rest assured, right?" ”
In fact, Xiao Yu was still a little melancholy, but she also wanted to understand Ling Yan's considerations, and was hesitating to find a way to stay in Yuedi for a while, but she heard rumors from outside that someone from the Great General's Mansion had come over again.
Hearing Bai Lu hurriedly finish talking about the reason, Xiao Yu and Ling Yan were taken aback: "What are you talking about?!" (To be continued......)
