As soon as Qin Daochuan entered the border, he sent a military report to the Ministry of War, reporting the details of the trip to the current emperor.

I wanted to send two letters to my home by the way, one was for the old lady and one was for Ruoshu, but when I threw it out, I suddenly thought of something, so I took back the letter to Ruoshu, held it in my arms, and waited until there was a store in Qingzhou before sending the letter out.

I thought that although it was a little late, but the mission would be received by the local yamen along the way, and the pace was slow, and if Shu received his letter, he should have enough time to prepare his family affairs.

Ruoshu learned the news from Xianya's mouth that Qin Daochuan had returned to Beijing.

Seeing that her mother didn't know the news of her father, Xianya was a little surprised why her mother didn't receive her father's letter.

My father's letter to my grandmother was sent by Mrs. He from Zuoyuan, and she must have received the letter as well.

Seeing that my mother seemed a little unhappy when she heard this, she said: "Now that my mother has received the news of my father's safe return, I don't have to worry about my father anymore, just wait for my father to return to reunite with the family, and calculate that the day is just right to catch up with the Mid-Autumn Festival. ”

Ruoshu said: "Zhongzhan, you have already obtained the Hu pen you wanted last time, remember to ask Aunt Lan Zhi for it later." ”

Zhong Zhan hurriedly replied, "Thank you mother, it can be regarded as saving my urgency, my Hu pen is bald, and the other pens are always bad." ”

Ruoshu said: "It's not good to use the pen, you made a mistake." ”

Zhong Zhan said: "How can my mother say the same thing as the teacher? Teachers often say that if I write too hard, not only will I suffer myself, but I will also suffer with the paper and table. ”

Ruoshu couldn't help laughing, looked at him and said, "If you say it earlier, I'll ask someone to prepare a few more for you." ”

Zhong Zhan said: "I see that my mother has several new pens on the shelf, so you might as well give me one!" ”

Ruoshu said: "You can't get used to writing with my pen, or Hu pen is suitable for you." ”

Zhong Zhan looked at the pen on the shelf, but he didn't see any difference. At this time, Lan Zhi happened to send the Hu pen to Zhong Zhan, and answered: "Madame's pen is either made of rat whiskers or chicken hair, and it is not as good as the Hu pen made of pure sheep hair." ”

Zhong Zhan sighed, and then asked, "Is there a harder pen, so that I don't always break the pen." ”

Ruoshu said: "Zihao is suitable for you, but you are a beginner now, but it is not good, and when you finish writing, it is not too late to change." ”

Zhong Zhan nodded, took the pen and planned to leave.

Xianya saw that she was talking to her mother, and her mother ignored it, but she chatted with Zhongzhan enthusiastically, and retired sullenly and went out of the right courtyard.

On the path, Zhong Zhan waited for her to go with him for the first time, glanced at her, and said, "Did you do this on purpose?" ”

Graceful Erzhang couldn't figure it out and asked, "What intention?" ”

Zhong Zhan said: "Then why did you want to go to the left courtyard in front of your mother, and deliberately squeezed your mother and didn't know the news of your father's return." ”

Xianya replied: "How can I be like this? I'm just kind enough to tell her. ”

Zhong Zhan said: "Even I feel uncomfortable when I hear it, let alone my mother? You beware that your mother will ignore you again. ”

After saying that, he walked away on his own.

Xianya stood on the path alone in a daze, looking at Zhong Zhan's back gradually moving away, and then looked back at the closed gate of the right courtyard, and said to herself disapprerovingly: "I'm just telling the truth, it's my father who is acting wrong, what does it have to do with me?" ”

Qin Daochuan sneezed in the car, Qin Dong next to the car heard it, and hurriedly greeted the military doctor, "Doctor Hu, the general seems to have a cold, you can show him hard." ”

Doctor Hu Jun listened, hurriedly called the car to stop, climbed into the car to check the pulse and look at the doctor, Qin Daochuan asked strangely: "Is the doctor in Xixia also asking for a consultation?" ”

Doctor Hu smiled and said: "What's the matter, my medical skills are with a traveling doctor from the Eastern Continent, so naturally I want to ask questions, and other Western Xia doctors are not like this." ”

Qin Daochuan nodded, and Doctor Hu said: "The pulse is okay, it's better for the general to pay attention, don't catch a cold, this will soon enter Beijing, and then you will have to rely on the general to work hard." ”

The myriad thoughts in Qin Daochuan's heart were different from what Doctor Hu thought, but he also nodded and agreed.

Qin Daochuan thought to himself, now his grandmother must have received his letter, but Ruoshu's letter is probably still on the way, and he hopes that the letter will arrive earlier than himself, so that he doesn't have to go through all the trouble to explain to Ruoshu.

When the girls in the courtyard heard the news of the general's return to Beijing, their minds were confused, and they had lost their previous properness at all, Ruoshu took a sip of soup, put it in his mouth, and motioned for Lan Zhi to take the basin.

After vomiting, he said: "They all say that they hate to marry and hate to marry, why did they come to me and become ants on a hot pot one by one, eager to give birth to wings?" ”

Lan Zhi took a shallow taste and said: "This Xia He said that she wanted the new Xia Cha to take over the kitchen, but she refused, now it's okay, I said she went." ”

Ruoshu stopped and said: "That's it, you just said that the soup is cold, and I don't want to eat fish soup today, so I want her to stew a cup of pork rib soup to eat, put some lilies, and then put some cabbage sum,"

Lan Zhi replied, "Let's go and let her prepare." ”

Ruoshu said: "Don't hold back, you will be like this in the future." ”

Lan Zhi snorted and went out with the dishes.

Ruoshu looked at the dowry list in front of him and the list handed by the steward in the front yard.

I thought that according to what Xianya said, these things are ready, and Qin Dong and they should also arrive.

At that time, it is not necessary to ask for marriage, and then ask for a marriage, and then ask for a name, set a marriage, and then choose an auspicious day to get married, which can be regarded as too simple to be simple, and it will take a month!

Thinking about it, he asked Xia Mo, who was on duty outside, to go to the front yard and ask the steward to talk.

After the steward came, Ruoshu didn't say anything polite to him, and said directly: "When the general left, he said that the process on the man's side belongs to you, and the process on the woman's side belongs to me." Now I have sorted it out, and when they come back, I will choose an auspicious day to ask for it. Then it is to ask for names, determine marriage, and finally get married. I don't know how the government used to do it, your list only wrote what you need to buy, but you didn't report the process to me. ”

Steward Qin replied: "Young lady, Qin Dong and the four of them are all of high grades, unlike the house slaves in the mansion, they were all run in the military tun in the past, and the mansion has never been in the house. ”

Ruoshu listened, thought for a while, and said: "Although my people seem to be slaves, they have all grown up with me since childhood, and they are like sisters. Since you've never done it before, how about you pretend to be my order? ”

Steward Qin listened and replied: "When the general left, he gave me a thousand taels of silver, which was used to buy the items for the dowry and marriage, and I have basically bought all the things, and the red candles and red cloth are also complete, I don't know what else the young lady will add?" Now the old slave only has more than 100 taels of silver left in his hand, and the old slave tries his best to do things. ”

When Shu saw him say this, he asked, "Is the banquet in the front yard included?" ”

Steward Qin replied: "This has already been set for business, chickens, ducks, fish, pigs and sheep are all raised there, just wait for the date to be set, and slaughter it one day in advance." ”

Ruoshu asked: "I looked at the list, it was about less than ten tables, how could there be so many fish and meat on several tables?" ”

Steward Qin replied: "The front yard is small, and it can only accommodate so many tables, and the rest of the generals say that they are all placed in the guard camp outside the city. ”

Ruoshu said: "What is that like, how can there be two places to do family affairs?" ”

Steward Qin replied: "Young lady Hui, the front yard is mainly the guards, stewards and domestic servants in the house, Qin Dong and their colleagues are all in the guard camp, anyway, they can't enter the city, so they will do it there." ”

When Ruoshu heard this, he understood and said, "Okay, I'll think about it again." ”

Sent away the steward, Ruoshu looked out the window and was stunned, since taking over the housekeeper, there are very few things in Xifu, except for some daily trivial matters, there is nothing else, the old lady neither feasts nor goes to banquets, at most she brings some congratulatory gifts and never goes out of line, Qin Daochuan's Yulu is enough to deal with.

Whenever there is something on the left courtyard, it is self-sufficient, even if it is a banquet in the front yard, it is also purchased by itself, but they are just doing it by the labor Qin steward. Steward Qin never reflected it in the account, and Ruoshu was too happy not to see it.

Counting it up, this marriage is the biggest thing that Ruoshu has taken over from Xifu, but he didn't expect a simple marriage, and there is no shortage of money, how to deal with it so much.

Thinking about it, I asked Lan Zhi to call all four of them in to discuss it.

Ruoshu looked at the four of them, told the situation straight to the point, and then said: "I have an idea, I don't know if it's feasible, the front yard is small, it's really not suitable for the marriage of the four of you, I think that anyway, the guard camp outside the city wants to do wine, it's better to just put it there, the place is spacious, it's far away from the city, when the time comes, buy some fireworks, put them on, and then light a bonfire, you can be lively until dawn, what do you think?" ”

The four of them plus Lan Zhi were stunned for a long time before Lan Xuan said, "Of course it's good!" The emperor is far away, and we can be free. ”

After speaking, he found that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, and his face turned red, so he lowered his head.

Ruoshu chuckled and said, "What about the three of you?" If there is no opinion, then it is decided, I will tell Steward Qin tomorrow that I want him to prepare first, and then set up four more tents for you to make a new house. ”

All four of them blushed, bowing their heads in silence.

Ruoshu smiled and asked them to go down first.

I wrote it one by one according to the process of my wedding.
