Chapter 610: The Words of the Matchmaker and Zhong Cui's Night Talk
On March 26, Chen Xingshan's wife Yuan came as a matchmaker to propose marriage. Of course, before that, in order to show the importance of marriage, on March 22, Xue Ning took his son out to visit a friend's house, and on the way, he 'bumped' into a Qitai family of three who had never taken their daughter out before. Qi Tai carefully said a few words to Xu Yuyang, taught him a few questions, and Xue Ning also said a few words to Qi Tai and Yu Minyue. Xue Ning noticed that someone in the carriage borrowed by the Qi family seemed to be secretly watching his son.
Xue Ning is of course satisfied with this marriage. His second son wants to take the civil official route, and Qi Tai is not only Yun Xi's cronies, but also a civil official who was born on the right path in the imperial examination, of course, he can't help and dare not help Xi Yang in the exam, but it is very useful to be an official in the future; What's more, that night, although he saw Qi Feng'er frightened, she was not chaotic at all, and she was a housewife who could be a housewife.
But then again, it's useless even if he's not happy with the marriage. He didn't know whether this was Xi Yao's meaning or Yun Xi's meaning, but he couldn't disobey either meaning.
Xu Xuyang's own feelings were very strange. He didn't expect that the woman he had saved two months earlier, the woman who couldn't remember her appearance but was calm and composed, would become his wife. It was something he had never encountered before, and he had no idea how to react to it.
He knew what marriage was all about, and he imagined that he would live with Qi Hao'er like parents in the future, and he didn't feel anything bad. This is the only clear feeling he has about this marriage.
Of course, she had her own thoughts, but her mind was even more confused, and she had no idea how she should react to the marriage. However, in a traditional Chinese-style marriage, there is no need for the woman's parties to make a statement, as long as she does not explicitly object to her parents. For those who don't value their daughters, it's useless for them to make it clear that they are against it.
After the formal proposal, the two parties returned the marriage book. Although the man and the woman were not married at this time, the marriage was already protected by law, and neither party had the right to unilaterally dissolve the marriage and refuse to enter into marriage.
On the first day of the fourth month, Yu Minyue took Feng'er into the palace to meet her. Xi Yao looked at Feng'er carefully for a while, and then took off the gold bracelet on her wrist and rewarded her. It is not unusual for the queen to reward others, but the meaning of the reward is extraordinary when she takes off the gold bracelet she wears on weekdays, and it shows her recognition of Feng'er at this time.
Yu Minyue breathed a sigh of relief, and Feng'er excused herself and accepted Xiyao's reward.
After that, the Xue Qi family began to perform the marriage procedure step by step in accordance with the six rites. Under normal circumstances, the two of them will officially get married after about a year.

Yun Xi stretched his waist, pointed to the folds in the northeast corner of the table and instructed Huang Ludao: "Send these folds to the General Administration." ”
Huang Fu said to Yun Xi: "Your Majesty, do you want to light the lamp now, or wait until after dinner?" ”
Yun Xi pushed away the fold in front of him: "What kind of lamp!" The rest of the twists and turns are all sentenced to death by the local government and asked the court to allow the execution, even if the reply is completed now, it will have to be sent to the local government tomorrow, and it is not a big deal to delay it for a day, so let's deal with it tomorrow. ”
With that, Yun Xi stood up and walked out of the Qianqing Palace.
Wang Xi caught up and asked, "Your Majesty, are you going to Kunning Palace or Zhongcui Palace?" ”
"Let's go to the Zhongcui Palace. Miaojin is about to give birth, so accompany her more. Yun Xi said.
Wang Xi promised to send someone to Zhongcui Palace to prepare first.
After a while, Yunxi came to Zhong Cui Palace and went straight to Miaojin's bedroom. Miaojin is not like Xi Yao, when she was nine months pregnant, she went to the gate of the palace with a big belly to greet Yun Xi. She waited in the dormitory until Yun Xi walked into the dormitory, then she got up from the bed and saluted Yun Xi slightly: "The concubine has seen Your Majesty." ”
"Oh, what are you doing at this time, sit back on the bed." Yun Xi came up and helped Miao Jin to sit back. Although it is good for pregnant women to be active, it obviously does not refer to pregnant women who are about to give birth.
Today is April 17th, and the experienced midwife and the imperial doctor all say that she is about to give birth in these days, and Yun Xi has to come to see her every day, sometimes staying overnight and sometimes not, but they will accompany her to dinner.
The two were eating face to face, and Yun Xi said: "You should be in labor in a few days, why don't you leave a midwife to watch in the Zhongcui Palace day and night, just in case?" ”
"No need," Miao Jin smiled sweetly: "The concubine heard that women will feel it before giving birth, and it will be too late to notify the midwife and the imperial doctor when the time comes." ”
"It's better to keep a midwife, just give the midwife more money for a few days." Yunxi is still not at ease.
Although the eldest sister's experience told her that she really didn't have to keep her wife in the house, since Yun Xi cared about her, how could she refuse, and said with a smile: "Thank you, husband." ”
After a while, the two finished eating, and Yun Xi didn't have any desires today, so he stayed in Zhong Cui Palace to accompany Miaojin. Of course Miaojin is happy, although someone comes into the palace every day to talk to her, her husband is still different.
"The concubine is not alone during the day, the eldest sister and the third sister take turns to enter the palace to accompany the concubine to talk. The third sister is okay, after all, she has to decide a lot of things in King An's Mansion; The eldest sister has now handed over everything to Gao Chi's daughter-in-law, and she is very free. Originally, after Gao Chi's daughter-in-law gave birth to a child at the end of last year, she should have taken Gao Sui and his wife to Su Fan. But one is to take care of me, and the other is that Gao Sui's daughter-in-law is also pregnant, so the eldest sister stays for the time being. Miaojin said.
"Hey, speaking of which, Aunt Twenty-two married Uncle Twenty-two in the first year of Jianye, why hasn't her stomach moved until now?" Yoon-hee asked.
Although Yun Xi asked casually, theoretically this also belonged to the category he cared about. As the patriarch of the Zhu family, he has the responsibility to care for every family. Anwang Zhu Ying has been married for two years now and has no children, even ordinary people's families are a big deal, and some anxious families may even divorce their daughters-in-law and marry again.
As soon as she mentioned this, Miaojin's brows also furrowed: "The third sister is also anxious. Since last year, the third sister has opened her face to the two little maids and asked them to serve the third brother-in-law. But no one has a movement in their stomachs so far. ”
Yun Xi saw that Miao Jin's expression was aroused, and he secretly regretted that he had nothing to do with it, and was busy talking about other things; Miaojin didn't want to think about it too much, so she changed the topic according to Yunxi's tone.
The next morning, when Yunxi woke up, Miaojin was still asleep. He quietly walked into Miaojin's dormitory, kissed Miaojin on the forehead, and turned to leave the dormitory. But what he didn't know was that after he left, Miaojin immediately opened his eyes, reached out and touched his forehead, smiled, and fell asleep again.
