Chapter 539: To be married
At this time, Fang Ruomeng had already arrived at the Lotus Pond Academy.
After leaving the Four Princes' Mansion, she cried silently in the carriage alone for a while.
She didn't want to go back to the Li Mansion, and she didn't want to go back to the Fang family. Suddenly, there was a kind of desolation that the world was so big that he had nowhere to go. When the maid asked outside the carriage, she blurted out, "Go to the Lotus Pond Academy." β
At that moment, she was shocked to realize that she had unknowingly regarded Lotus Pond Academy as her maiden home. Gu Shanchang and Xie Mingxi are the closest and most trusted people to her.
No matter how brave and strong a person is, there are times when he is injured, and he also needs someone to care and comfort him.
Fang Ruomeng stood outside the Lotus Pond Academy, looking at the three shops that belonged to him, and his gloomy mood was instantly healed.
In this world, only your own private house can be relied on, and you will never live up to yourself!
Taking out all her savings that day and renting these three shops was undoubtedly the most correct decision she made in her life. In just over half a year, it has been repaid. In the future, relying on these three shops, it will be enough for her to have no worries about food and clothing.
Fang Ruomeng's mood improved, so he simply went to various shops and bought a bunch of things that were useful or not needed for a while, and his mood was a little better.
Then I went to Lin Weiwei's shop and bought a few boxes of exquisite snacks. Only then did he enter the Lotus Pond Academy.
β¦β¦
Hearing that Fang Ruomeng was coming, Xie Mingxi was also a little surprised, and greeted him with a smile: "Sister Fang, why did you suddenly come here today?" β
In the past, Fang Ruomeng would always send a post a day or two in advance. It's the first time I've come here like this, close to noon.
Fang Ruomeng pursed her lips and smiled: "It's okay to be idle, come and have a lunch with a cheeky face." β
smiled and offered a snack: "This is a new dim sum from Sister Lin's shop, I specially bought a few boxes, you and the mountain chief can taste it." β
Xie Mingxi's gaze swept over Fang Ruomeng's reddish eyes and forced smile, and he vaguely guessed a few points in his heart, but he didn't say it. Following Fang Ruomeng's words, he said with a smile: "I'll send someone to the kitchen to say that I will prepare a few more dishes at noon today." β
"There is a master who is on leave, and the master goes to substitute for the teacher, and he can't come back until he finishes school."
Lianchi Academy has admitted more than 20 students this year, and there are a lot more trivial matters. Fortunately, with Xie Mingxi's help, Gu Shanchang was able to get busy.
Whenever a master and son take a vacation, it has become a practice for Gu Shanchang to substitute for a teacher.
Fang Ruomeng laughed: "The number of books of etiquette and music is the number of imperial shots, and the mountain chief is good at everything. It doesn't matter if you take any course. Perhaps, everyone is looking forward to the mountain chief to substitute for the teacher! β
Speaking of which, this is also a widely circulated joke in Lotus Pond Academy.
Gu Shanchang is serious, but he is not old-fashioned at all in class, lively and interesting. Because of this, all the students like Gu Shanchang to substitute teach.
Xie Mingxi and Fang Ruomeng looked at each other and smiled, and went into the room to talk.
Fang Ruomeng didn't mention Li Mo at all, nor did he mention that he was sulking, so Xie Mingxi didn't know what to do, and talked to her to relieve her boredom.
The gloomy color on Fang Ruomeng's face quickly faded, and his smile became brighter: "Sister Xie, your wedding date with the Seventh Emperor is scheduled for next year's Shangyuan Festival. There are only three months left. How is your dowry prepared? β
Speaking of the wedding period, there is also an interesting fact.
The Ministry of Rites originally chose an auspicious day in June of the following year.
The seventh prince was quite unhappy, so he took the fourth prince to Yue Shangshu's house to "sit". After three days of "small sitting", Yue Shangshu couldn't stand it anymore, and took the initiative to ask: "His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince comes to Yue's Mansion every day as a guest, and the old ministers welcome him. I don't know what His Highness has to tell the old minister? β
The Seventh Prince immediately smiled and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. I just want to discuss the marriage date with Yue Shangshu. I wanted to be earlier, but I was too embarrassed to open my mouth. β
Yue Shangshu: "......"
Yue Shangshu was also helpless in the face of the cheekiness of the Seven Princes, so he had to back down and change the auspicious day to the eighteenth day of the first month.
This matter reached the ears of Emperor Jianwen, and Emperor Jianwen had to reproach the Seventh Prince once: "...... Half a year later and half a year early, it's all your daughter-in-law, and you can't run away! What kind of system is it like this! β
The seventh prince solemnly pleaded guilty: "What my father said is that his sons are too anxious and don't want to wait for half a year. Please punish the Emperor! β
The wedding date has been changed, how can I be punished?
Emperor Jianwen was angry and funny, but he was just a reprimand.
β¦β¦
The Seventh Prince relied on his cheekiness to advance the marriage date by half a year, and this matter was also laughed at by everyone. Fang Ruomeng mentioned it at this time, not without a joke.
It's a pity that Xie Mingxi's cheek thickness is not weaker than that of his fiancΓ©, and he is not ashamed at all, and smiles leisurely: "Preparing for the dowry is something like that, let my grandfather, grandmother, and father worry about it." I have something to keep busy. β
Xie Mingxi is really not busy at all.
The Xie family has a thin background, no matter how carefully it is managed, the dowry cannot be compared with the princes and concubines. Fortunately, Xie Mingxi has a rich private house and a net worth of millions, so he will be brought into the Seven Princes' Mansion when the time comes.
The woman to be married is nothing more than doing some needlework with her own hands. Xie Mingxi is good at everything, but the female red is mediocre. I didn't bother with this effort, and hired two famous embroiderers in Beijing to do embroidery work, and finally filled in two stitches in person.
Since the marriage date was set, Gu Shanchang let her devote herself to getting married and did not let her get involved in the secular affairs of the academy.
In this way, Xie Mingxi still lives a leisurely life of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and hops.
People are really inherently different, and I can't envy them!
Thinking of his nervousness and busyness when he was about to get married, and then looking at Xie Mingxi's ease and sufficiency at this time, Fang Ruomeng couldn't help but smile and sighed: "Sister Xie, I really envy you." No matter what time it is, you are always so calm and unhurried, and you have the wisdom bead in your hand. β
Xie Mingxi smiled and replied meaningfully: "I have a strong nature. No matter how confused and uneasy you are, you must always pretend that nothing is wrong on your face. β
Fang Ruomeng: "......"
Fang Ruomeng and Xie Mingxi looked at each other for a moment, and then sighed in frustration: "Am I acting so obviously?" I thought I was so well disguised today that you wouldn't notice. β
Xie Mingxi smiled slightly: "Don't say you can't hide it from me, even in front of the master, you can't hide it either." β
Fang Ruomeng was speechless.
"If you have anything to worry about, you can say it if you want to say it, and if you don't want to say it, I won't ask it."
Xie Mingxi's eyes softened, and he slowed down his voice: "Sister Fang, you don't want to go back to the Fang family, and you don't want your mother's family to know about your troubles." After that, I will go back to the Lotus Pond Academy. Even if I get married in the future, I will also regard this place as my maiden home. β
Fang Ruomeng nodded vigorously, his nose was sore, and tears poured out uncontrollably.
can make Fang Ruomeng, who has always been strong, so sad and sad, except for Li Mo's bastard, there is no one else.
Xie Mingxi's face was silent, but he snorted coldly in his heart, and credited the account to Li Mo.
