Princess Yan now looks at the Wen family more pleasing to the eye than before, and she feels more kind. Mrs. Jing Ming was also happy, because Xiao Rui would have such a pair of reasonable and caring parents-in-law in the future, and with the care of King Yan and his wife, he would naturally not be as always wronged as he was in the Xiao family before.

The three mothers officially began to discuss the wedding.

Princess Yan and Master Jing both felt that they should put the Xie family's opinion first, as compensation for concealing the truth about Xiao Rui's life when they came to ask for marriage earlier.

The Wen family and Xie Pu had already discussed, even if the Yan Wangfu retreated now, they would not really make the decision unceremoniously, and they still had to respect the meaning of the Yan Wang couple and his wife. It's just that Xie Pu prefers to grow up and be orderly, even if his daughter has reached the end of the year this year, and his son-in-law is about to reach the crown, it is long overdue to marry, he still hopes that his daughter will marry at least in the second half of next year.

Xie Xianzhi, the eldest son of the Xie family, will not officially see each other until next year, and Xie Jinzhi, the second son, has not even seen a marriage. I'm afraid this so-called "orderly" rule can't be applied to boys. Anyway, the two children are already famous for their talents, and they are planning to study hard to prepare for the township exam, so there is no need to worry, and they will do their sisters' lifelong events first. The marriage of Xie Yinghui, the eldest daughter of the Xie family, has been decided, but the groom is preparing for next year's spring exam in Beijing, and he will not be able to get married until the summer and autumn of next year. Therefore, Wen proposed that as long as Xiao Rui and Xie Mulin's marriage date is after the eldest daughter marries, then it doesn't matter what day. Everything depends on the arrangement of Yan Wangfu.

Princess Yan thought about it and felt that this day was okay. Xiao Rui will win the crown next year, and it is also appropriate to get married at this time. Moreover, if the royal palace wants to prepare for the wedding of its only son, it will also take time to prepare. However, she thinks that even if the wedding date is after summer and autumn, it can't be delayed too late, August and September are fine, and if you push it back, I'm afraid that the weather will be too cold. Although there is no shortage of materials to protect against the cold in the Yanwang Mansion, there is no need to ask the two children to endure the cold wind in the cold weather. In August and September, Beiping was already quite shady, but it was just right to wear thicker autumn clothes to survive it, but it was not yet snowing.

What's more, at that time, just after the autumn harvest, it was the time when the people were the richest, and the inside and outside of Beiping City were generally peaceful. In previous years, you may still need to worry about the peace of the border, but the big war at the beginning of the year, the north was beaten to a great injury, don't want to ease up in three or five years, and next year it is even more impossible to have a moth, just take advantage of the happy event of the wedding of the son of King Yan, treat the three armies well, and let the soldiers also be happy.

Princess Yan and the Wen family reached a preliminary consensus on the wedding date, as for the specifications of the dowry and dowry, it depends on the respective wishes of the two families. Whether it is the Yan Wangfu or the Xie family, they are very satisfied with this marriage and don't mind having a little more blood. It's just that Yan Wang and his wife didn't want Xiao Rui to be on the cusp early, and the Xie family also needed to consider the mood of their other daughter-in-law, Xie Yinghui, so they were not too polite.

Princess Yan decided that after the new daughter-in-law entered the house, she would send more good things to compensate Xie Mulin.

Wen's plan is to prepare more pressure box silver for his daughter, and the dowry shown to outsiders should not be too conspicuous, as compensation, you can introduce a few financial routes to Yanwangfu in advance, so that the future son-in-law can earn more for himself, and he will not have to be wronged by his daughter-in-law after marriage.

Xie Mulin sat with his eldest sister Xie Yinghui and Yongping County Lord Zhu Pei together, and they only listened obediently. Except for the county lord of Yongping who laughed happily all the way to listen to it, and nodded his head from time to time in response to Princess Yan's suggestion, the Xie family sisters were a little embarrassed when they heard the discussion about their own marriage. Xie Yinghui also whispered to Xie Mulin: "Too much heart, you are going to marry the son of King Yan, whether it is a dowry or something else, it should be better than me, why worry about me?" I don't mind at all. I should go to the Huang family, and I didn't go for any family background. ”

Xie Mulin responded to her in a low voice: "Eldest sister, just listen, the elders have their own plans for these things, so we don't need to worry about it." ”

Xie Yinghui shut up at this time.

However, the county lord of Yongping heard their conversation, and when he looked at them with a smile, his expression was extremely friendly and kind. She also said to her sisters: "I know that both sisters are married. I heard that there has always been a custom in the south, and girls who are married don't go out much. But our rules in Beiping are different from those in the south, and there are also girls who have decided to marry and go to relatives as guests. I have nothing to do in the palace on weekdays, the sisters in the clan can't get along with me, and I don't like to take care of the delicate ladies who are twisted and pinched in the families of the adults of the various yamen. But you are very suitable for my temperament, why don't you come here often? I'll take you everywhere! ”

Xie Mulin was quite interested, but Xie Yinghui was more reserved: "I don't know if the elders in the family will allow it, and our sisters have just arrived in Beiping, and it is really a little unbearable to meet the big winter...... Forgive me, my sister is afraid that we will not dare to go out until after the spring flowers bloom. It's been a month since we entered Beiping, and we haven't even seen what the streets near the official residence look like! ”

The county lord of Yongping laughed when he heard this: "Okay, when you go out in winter, it's really cold." Even if we are going to get together this year, we don't have to go out to play, we can sit in the house and play games, eat, drink, and laugh. When the weather warms up next year, I will take you to visit Beiping City! There are so many great places to visit in and out of the city! In autumn, there are still red leaves to see on the side of Xiangshan. I remember that Aunt Yongning's cousin Yurong is also coming to Peking next year, isn't it? Sister Xie and cousin Yurong are best friends with handkerchiefs, right? You first travel with me to Beiping City, and remember the beautiful and interesting places in and out of the city, and when Cousin Yurong comes next year, you can join me as a guide for her! ”

Xie Yinghui and Xie Mulin responded with a smile.

The county lord of Yongping also mentioned that he might occasionally go out to ride a horse to relax, and if he went to the vicinity of Xie's house, he might come to visit them, hoping that they would not be annoyed that she was too abrupt. She still remembered that there were a few time-honored restaurants near the neighborhood where the political envoys and officials lived, and she planned to buy some to bring with the Xie family as souvenirs. The county lord seemed to be very familiar with the famous restaurants in the city, and when he heard that the Xie sisters were hungry, they exchanged glances with each other in private, and decided to go home in a while, so they sent someone to buy them.

The three little girls chatted happily, and the three mothers also chatted very happily. It was Wu Qiongye who sent someone to remind her, and Princess Yan remembered that today's tea party was not over yet, and she couldn't really leave that group of female guests behind. As for the discussion of the wedding, after today, she can ask Wen to come over again to continue. Anyway, the wedding will not be held until the second half of next year, and they still have plenty of time.

Master Jing got up, folded her hands, and saw off today's visitors.

Wen inquired about which nunnery she had settled, planned to visit another place later, and inquired about the preferences of her future son-in-law, so she took her daughters and returned to the tea party with Princess Yan and Lord Yongping. Compared to when she first arrived at the house, she is now in a more relaxed mood, and the smile on her face is a little more relaxed.

This smile fell into the eyes of the other ladies of the tea party, naturally suggesting a special meaning.
