Mrs. Gu went to Lingshan Temple for two days before coming back, and as soon as she got home, she called Qingshu over.

"Master Miao Zhen has calculated two auspicious days of the zodiac, one is September 26 and the other is the ninth day of October, which of the two days do you like?"

Although Qingshu said that the marriage date could be set by her, Old Madam Gu still wanted to ask her opinion.

Qingshu said: "It is set on the ninth day of October, which also means that it is perfect." ”

Old Madam Gu hurriedly said: "Nonsense, life must be perfect!" ”

"Grandma, there is no such thing as perfection in this world. As the old saying goes, people are unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, and I am very blessed to be able to be perfect. ”

has such a father and mother, her life is not perfect at all, and I just hope that the future days will be smoother and smoother.

Old Madam Gu was in a good mood, so she also let her go: "Are you sure?" If it's confirmed, I'll let Mother Hua tell Jing Lene. When he finishes the test, he will come to the next office. ”

"It's confirmed."

Not only did he have to tell Fu Jingene about this, but Qingshu also asked people to tell Feng Xiaoyu.

After getting the news, Feng Xiaoyu came over, and when she saw Qingshu, she began to complain: "My mother won't let me come out now, and this time I was allowed to come over because I knew that your marriage date was set." Ahem, I'm going to be locked up at home for the next few months. ”

"When you get married, you'll be free."

Feng Xiaoyu shook her head and said, "It's difficult." After getting married, you have to go back to your mother-in-law, and it will be even more difficult to go out when the time comes. Speaking of which, it's still hello, there are no elders on it. ”

"There are pros and cons to this. No elder has to handle everything, and even the dowry can only be purchased after the palace examination. And he has no brothers, and he won't even have a foil to help him in the future. My grandmother was worried about this, so she wanted to find a child of a big family for An An. ”

Feng Xiaoyu doesn't like to hear this: "Why didn't you help?" I'm not human to Yi'an! ”

Speaking of Huanxi, Qingshu said with a smile: "I heard my godmother say that the third brother will be able to return to Beijing next month, and he was arranged to be on an errand in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, and served as the commander of the soldiers and horses in Beicheng. ”

The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is mainly responsible for patrolling the capital to catch thieves, dredging the ditches, prisoners, fire bans, etc.

Feng Xiaoyu was a little surprised: "It was actually arranged in the Five Cities Terracotta Division?" It's a mixed place, can the third brother adapt to it? ”

Qingshu smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. The third brother even cleaned up the soldiers and ruffians in the army honestly, not to mention those prickly gangsters. ”

Feng Xiaoyu thought about it, and felt how worried she was.

Fu Jingene was very happy to hear that the wedding date was set for the ninth day of October, and he was thinking about what dowry should be purchased.

When Mr. Nie entered the house, he saw what was written on the paper, and the corners of his mouth twitched and said, "I already wrote to your sister-in-law a few days ago, and she will be able to arrive in Beijing in half a month at most." You have handed over the dowry and the management of the wedding to her, and you can now prepare for the palace examination with peace of mind. Although you took the fifth place in the exam this time, if you don't perform well in the palace exam, you will fall behind. After so many years of hard work, I can't drop the chain at a critical time. ”

Fu Jingene said with a smile: "Don't worry, teacher, I am measured." I'm going to do well this time and try to move two more places into the top one. ”

He would only say this in front of Old Mr. Nie, and he would not say it in front of others, including Qingshu.

Mr. Nie was satisfied: "It's good to think like this, let's go read a book!" Otherwise, it will be surpassed by those little guys, and it will be up to you where your face will be put when the time comes. ”

That night, Qingshu asked Mrs. Gu: "Grandma, have you written to tell your aunt about the wedding date?" ”

Mrs. Qi's love for her is not inferior to Mrs. Gu's, so she really wants Mrs. Qi to come to this wedding.

Old Madam Gu shook her head and said, "I'm going to send a letter back to Pingzhou in a few days." Qingshu, your aunt is keeping filial piety, even if she comes to the capital, it is inconvenient to attend your wedding. ”

This news must not only be told to Mrs. Qi, but also to Shen Shaozhou and Gu Xian. Gu Xian couldn't come, she hoped that Shen Shaozhou could come.

"We just tell her about it, and as for whether we come to attend or not, it's up to my aunt to see what she wants. Don't wait, send someone back tomorrow! ”

Old Madam Gu nodded and agreed: "Qingshu, you can also write a letter to tell him about this!" He's your dad anyway, and you should tell him about such a big thing. ”

Qingshu hummed and said, "I'll write to the post station tomorrow, but he won't come back because he has a public office." ”

It doesn't matter if Lin Chengyu doesn't come back, but don't let Cui Xueying come back, who knows what will happen to that woman.

Half a month later, Mrs. Qi received Qingshu's letter, and after reading the letter, she said happily: "The child's wedding date has finally been set, and we have to go to the capital quickly." ”

Hearing that she was going to the capital, Qi Xiangdi disagreed: "Mother, we are guarding filial piety, how can we go to Qingshu's wedding." ”

Mrs. Qi glared: "I still use you to teach this!" I'm just bored of staying here and want to go to the capital for a while. If you don't want to, I'll go with Wanyu. ”

Zong really wanted to go back to Beijing, but her husband had to look at her and say, "Mother, how can such a big thing in the family be separated from me?" Mother, you have to go to the capital and wait for next year. ”

Mrs. Qi waved her hand and said, "I also thought that your mother and daughter hadn't seen each other for so many years, and they could be reunited in the capital this time." If you don't want to go, forget it, I'll go alone. ”

Qi Xiangdi was very helpless: "Mother, how can you go to the capital alone?" ”

Mrs. Qi was very talkative: "If you don't worry, you can let Yiqi and their little couple accompany me, and when I get to the capital, I will stay at your aunt's house." ”

Qi Xiangdi said with a dark face: "Mother, how can you live in your aunt's house with filial piety?" ”

"You don't have to worry about this, your aunt and Qingshu won't mind."

Ignoring Qi Xiangdi's objection, Mrs. Qi asked Li's mother and them to pack their things, and then instructed the housekeeper to buy a ferry ticket.

Qi Xiangdi couldn't persuade her, so he had to say: "Mother, in this way, I will accompany you to the capital after the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”

"Really?"

Qi Xiangdi could only sigh: "Mother, when did I lie to you?" ”

Mrs. Qi didn't let Mother Li and the others pack up their things, so they went to their own warehouse to find things. Qingshu is about to get married in October, and she wants you to find some good things to make the bottom of the box. ”

As long as she doesn't make a fuss about going to the capital, no matter what she does, Qi Xiangdi has no opinion.

Seeing a four-fold double-sided embroidered screen with a small bridge flowing water in the warehouse, Mrs. Qi asked, "How about you give this to Qingshu?" ”

"It's too big to carry."

Mrs. Qi felt that this was not a problem at all: "It would be good to charter a boat to go to the capital at that time." ”

Mother Li smiled and said, "Madam, Miss Qingshu likes to practice calligraphy and painting, and I think sending calligraphy and painting is more in line with her heart." ”

Mrs. Qi didn't like calligraphy and painting, so she didn't collect it, and the only few paintings were not from famous artists.

At dinner in the evening, Mrs. Qi said directly to Qi Xiangdi: "Qingshu is going to get married in October, what gifts are you two going to give as uncles?" ”

Qi Xiangdi said: "Don't worry, mother, I have asked Wanyue to prepare." ”

Qi Wangming was busy responding.

Mrs. Qi said: "Qingshu doesn't like gold, silver and jewelry, she likes calligraphy and famous paintings. If not, ancient books will do. ”

The two daughters-in-law and several granddaughters-in-law were speechless.

Qi Xiangdi said with a smile: "Don't worry, mother, I will definitely give a gift that satisfies Qingshu." ”

Mrs. Qi was satisfied. She knew that the old man had collected many famous calligraphy and paintings, and these things were passed on to Qi Xiangdi.
