Chapter 382: Asking for Marriage

Rong Ci withdrew his gaze to the sky, nodded in response, and soon after, Duchess Rong Guo and Rong Ci, as well as the matchmaker Duchess Cao Guo and the official media, led people to set off with the dowry price.

The three of them sat in the carriage, and the official media lady and the person carrying the dowry behind followed the carriage, and there was a team of escorts on each side.

The spring day came with a light drizzle like this silk, soft and soft, gently and delicately, falling on the heavens and the earth, on the mountains and rivers, on the buns of people's hair, on the clothes, on the dust of the heart.

Gently and gently, if there is nothing, as if there is nothing, but there seems to be a delicate coolness, and with a gentle and tenacious vitality, leading the world from winter to spring.

He gives birth to all things every day, and he blooms a hundred flowers every day.

Along the way, there were countless onlookers, gathered on both sides of the street, counting the dowry adorned behind the carriage, and the crowd was constantly talking, and I didn't know whether they were talking about the first spring rain or this grand occasion.

"Girl, it's raining in spring today."

"Really?"

Xie Yixiao finished dressing up, admired himself in the mirror for a while, and heard that Mingjing said spring rain, so he got up and pushed open the window to look out, and sure enough, he saw a few drizzles falling in the sky.

The fine rain fell on the eaves of this courtyard, on the trees, on the flower beds, on the grass, and even on the bluestone road, fragments and soft.

Xie Yixiao took a breath, and then showed some smiles, she wanted to reach out to pick it up, but the spring rain was evacuated gently, and occasionally only a trace of it fell, and it was really difficult to let the rain fall in her hands.

In the end, she stretched out her hand to block it, and then another trace of rain fell on the palm of her hand, soft and cool.

She laughed: "Spring is coming. ”

It turns out that spring is coming~

Her heart seemed to be more joyful with this spring rain.

Spiegel smiled: "Yes, spring is coming, today is really a good day, it is really a coincidence, and it does not fall much, it will not delay things, I think heaven and earth are congratulating the girl and the ninth son, which is the gift of this spring rain." ”

Xie Yixiao pinched the handkerchief, and there was some joy, shyness and expectation in his heart.

She stretched out her hand to pick up a few traces of spring rain, feeling a little tired, and then hurriedly said: "Go and get a few clean pots and put them in the yard in the back cover room to pick up some, this is the first spring rain this year." ”

"If you make tea with this spring rain, wouldn't it be an elegant thing, and next time I just asked my sisters to taste this tea together."

Mingjing smiled: "Yes, yes, it's an elegant matter, the slave will arrange it in a while." ”

Spiegel asked her to sit back in front of the dresser, and then used the jade comb to comb her scattered hair, the jade comb passed through the hair, thin and soft, without hurting a single hair, and it was somewhat comfortable.

Xie Yixiao reached out and touched her hair, a little distracted, when she just walked through, this body was so weak that it could hang up at any time, and her black hair was also dry and slightly yellow.

Now she has been raising her body for nearly a year, and her hair is soft and black, and it is fine and soft to the touch, like fine silk.

She looked at the person in the mirror again, the bronze mirror could not show the yellow and white complexion, no matter how white it was, it was yellow, but her black hair was like a waterfall, her skin was delicate, her eyes were bright, and she was obviously extremely beautiful.

"Girl! Girl! ”

Red Mushroom hurried back from outside, and when Mingxin caught it, he whispered: "Be quiet, what kind of system is it in a panic." ”

Although Mingxin used to be similar to this, but since there were a few more second-class maids in the courtyard, she put up the score of her handmaidens and pretended to be stable.

Xie Yixiao and Ming Spiegel were both guessing how many days she would be able to withstand it.

Red Mushroom hurriedly said: "Sister Mingxin, it's the slave who is rude, and I will definitely pay attention to it next time." ”

After that, she carried her skirt into the house, and then said: "The girl is very happy, the slave maid just heard in the outer courtyard that the Rongguo Mansion has set off, and it will arrive at our mansion in a short time." ”

"I heard that the person who carried the dowry was huge, and it seems that the Rongguo Mansion also values the girl very much."

Mingxin said with a smile, his whole face was about to wrinkle with laughter: "Naturally, it is important, Duchess Rongguo and the Ninth Prince like our girl." ”

Red mushrooms came late, I don't know before, I only heard the name of the ninth prince, and Mingxin Mingjing knew a lot.

Spiegel said again: "You go and see again, when the people come, come and report again." ”

"Yes." Red Mushroom was ordered to go.

Spiegel arranged things in the yard in an orderly manner, let Hongxing boil water, let Honghua run errands to go to the kitchen to pick up some breakfast food, and then let Hongjube go to the back room to get pots to catch the spring rain.

The yard is quiet, and when the wind blows, the branches that have already risen some green sway gently, vying for the spring rain falling from the sky, so that they can grow better in the future.

The Xie family has to cross half of the imperial city from the Rongguo Mansion, and they came all the way with the dowry, and they didn't walk fast, and they made people see the excitement along the way, and when they arrived in front of the Xie family, an hour had passed.

At this time, the gate of the Xie family was closed, and there were guards on both sides in front of the door, and there were also Xie Jin and Xie Zhuo, the sons of the Xie family, standing at the door to greet the guests.

The people who got the news early also gathered in front of Xie's house to watch the excitement.

The procession of the Rongguo Mansion stopped, the scene was a little quiet, first Rong quit the carriage, he was wearing a purple robe, wearing a lotus gold crown, and he was a gentleman, handsome and unparalleled.

Then he stretched out his hand to help Duchess Rong Guo get off the horse, Duchess Cao Guo was behind, supported by the maidservant, and the group raised their eyes to look at the gate of the Xie family and did not speak.

The scene was quiet, and the people gathered on the side were also quiet, and occasionally there was a muffled voice.

The spring rain is silky, silky and soft, and gently sprinkled.

The group walked to the gate, and a maidservant girl came up with a tray covered with red silk.

Duchess Rong Guo glanced at Rong Ci, Rong Ci took the red letter of appointment placed on the tray, and then stepped forward, stood under the stage, held the letter of appointment in both hands, and said loudly:

"Today, the Rong family resigned, and came to ask to marry the thirteen daughters of the Xie Mansion with a matchmaker dowry, but I don't know if your mansion will allow it?"

Xie Jin said: "Wait for the elders of the Ming Hall, please wait." ”

Xie Zhuo stepped forward to receive the letter of appointment, and then put it into the tray that had been prepared, opened the small door and sent it into the mansion, and the rest of the people were waiting at the door.

The people in Rongguo's Mansion were quiet, and the onlookers on the side talked in a low voice, and the voices were very low, and no one else knew what they were talking about.

After a long while, a messenger came out and said something in Xie Jin's ear.

After Xie Jin heard this, he stepped forward, stood in front of the gate of the Xie family, and said to the visitors of the Rong family: "What my family said, I agreed, and I am willing to match my daughter with the Rong family." ”

The Rong family smiled when they heard this, and the onlookers on the side cheered loudly, applauded like thunder, and shouted hello.

Xie Jin took a few steps back to the side, and then rushed to the people in the house:

"Open the door, welcome the guestβ€”"
