Chapter 367: Licheng
The matchmaker slapped her thigh and laughed a few times, "Miss, this girl's thing is so easy to do, the old woman said that it was the first time in most of her life that the matchmaker had such a happy event."
Xia Li knew that this matchmaker was fooling around, in order to get more silver.
She thought of this: "The matchmaker helped me handle my girl's affairs well, and the silver must be indispensable to you."
The matchmaker patted her chest and promised to guarantee the ticket, for this kind of silver is actually about the same as giving it for nothing, you don't have to go to say that the matchmaker doesn't have to say it, and you don't have to wait for the other party's reply, as long as the steps are done well, the matchmaker is so happy that she can't keep her mouth shut.
Xia Li divided the yard into two houses, her yard was Chu Han's maiden home, and Yinzi's small house was his yard.
Although it is in a courtyard, she doesn't want Chu Han to marry in such a hasty way, and she asks the matchmaker to have three books and six ceremonies.
The matchmaker nodded and agreed, she would do whatever the host asked them to do, and there would be a reward if they were done, and this kind of marriage that could be completed in one day without bother was what she had always wanted, simple, more silver, and the most important thing was that it didn't take much effort.
After saying this, the matchmaker began to take a pick.
The adoption was carried out under the command of the matchmaker, and all the details here were helped by Yun Niang in the big kitchen, and Xia Li didn't understand.
By noon, the matchmaker had finished asking for names and Najib.
She personally asked for silver and the birth date of the first cold, and sat in the carriage of the courtyard Xia Li sent two small servants to follow, she personally went to the temple in the south to find the master together, and came back to tell Xia Li that it was good luck and a good cause from God.
Of course, Xia Li was happy, and rewarded her with five taels of silver on the spot.
The mother-in-law couldn't be too happy, normally the five taels of silver are enough for her salary, and now this young lady has rewarded her directly, which shows the importance of this matter.
Next, the matchmaker didn't dare to be careless at all, but Xia Li didn't know that she was not prepared, but she didn't expect that the silver had already been prepared, he had made a lot of money in the Dark Moon Palace over the years, and the current silver and silver tickets turned out to be the same box, and when this person took the things and put them in front of Xia Li, he said:
"Whoa! My dowry"
Xia Li thought it was something! When I opened the box, it was full of silver ingots and silver tickets.
Although the matchmaker didn't see it clearly, her eyes were straight when she saw the box of ingots, she didn't expect the owner of this yard to be so rich, and she had never seen anyone with so many ingots as a dowry, which really opened her eyes when she had been a matchmaker for decades.
Xia Li looked at the silver and said, "You really know how to hide, you have taken out so much now, but this is all yours?" ”
Yinzi shook his head, "No," in the Dark Moon Palace, he still has some of them, but it's not easy to take them, he only took so much. "I've left some left, and I'm going to turn over my yard in the spring."
Xia Li said with a mouth, "Okay, anyway, I won't give out your silver, you can build whatever you want, and make your yard wider and wider to the edge of the courtyard wall, so that you and Chu Han have children in the future, and you can live for the time being."
Yinzi smiled there, "Are you thinking too far, I just got engaged, you think so much, it's still far from getting married!"
Xia Li said there: "I originally planned to let you get married before the year, but the time is too urgent, forget it, you can get married after you finish building a house next year."
Silver nodded, "That's what I thought"
After the two finished speaking, they carried all the two boxes of things to the courtyard of the early cold according to the instructions of the matchmaker, and wrapped them in red cloth finely, looking very festive.
By the time these basic steps are all completed, half a day has passed, and the relationship between the two has also been completed at this moment, but there is no engagement period left.
After everything was finished, Xia Li rewarded the matchmaker with twenty taels of silver, and said that if there was anything she didn't understand when she got married, she would come again.
The matchmaker was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, this was the first time she had gotten so much silver so easily, if she hadn't had a ten-in-a-half moon service in the past, she wouldn't have kowtowed to Xia Li, and Xia Li didn't let her say anything.
It's not easy to come out to earn money to support your family, and Xia Li is not short of silver now, so if you can give more, you can give more.
After the matchmaker left, Xia Li instructed the cook to make the meal more sumptuous at night, and now Chu Han and Yinzi are engaged, and it has also come to the bright side, so everyone doesn't have to be taboo anymore, to be lively and lively, drink all those who can drink, tonight is not limited to the subordinate or the master, everyone should be happy together.
This is the first time she has relaxed like this since she entered the capital, not only to relax herself, but also to relax all the people in the main family.
During these days, everyone's spirits are too tense, especially since my father fell ill, taking this opportunity to make everyone happy.
Xia Ye also felt this way, and when she heard the lively talking in the yard, her mood improved, and she looked at her father and said soberly: "Father, there is a happy event in our yard today, do you remember the little girl next to Li'er?" She's betrothed and getting married."
Xia Zhi'an is also in good spirits today, it may be a relationship that has slept for a long time, and today the divine doctor treated him completely in his sleep, and after hearing this, he said: "The girl who left the child is going to get married, but she is still ......"
Xia Ye knew what his father was going to say, and he was going to talk about their brother and sister's engagement, so he said: "Father, I have told Li'er about this, we are not in a hurry, we still want to take a walk around ourselves, how to go if we are all engaged to drag the family with their mouths!"
These words were told to him by Xia Li, and Xia Li really thought so, so he said so.
In the past, when Xia Ye heard this, she still thought that her sister was incredible, as a young lady of the official eunuch family, she actually had this idea, don't all the young ladies of the family want to marry a good family, and then marry and teach children? This boss even wants to go out for a walk, and it's understandable to say that boys have such a way, but as a girl, it's a little weird.
Now that his father actually talked about it, he had to prevaricate with Xia Li's original words.
Xia Zhi'an snorted when he heard this: "Nonsense, what are the girls going out for, and besides, you have now received the emperor's order to do things, how can you go casually!" It was my fault that I didn't betrothal the two of you."
Now that he is sober, he regrets many of the things he has done.
Since the death of Mrs. Da, he also thought about the two children to be engaged, but then he was afraid that he would not pick a good person, so he thought about letting his sister-in-law pick a pick, and then he didn't say this and he received a holy decree to go to Henan to investigate the case, until now he came back and got sick, and now he wants to contact the two children for marriage, because he can't stand up, and he is not the unusually obedient and loyal governor Xia who was by the emperor's side, and now he is a patient who is about to die.
