Chapter 940 Can he pit himself?

After Xiao Chen left.

Ou Yurong walked out from the side room and asked, "Will it be bad if you tell His Royal Highness Prince Chen like this?"

"What's wrong with that?" If he didn't ask, who would know how they were going to marry Aying?

Ou Yurong pursed his lips and then said nothing.

Three days later.

Xiao Lusheng, Su Yun, and Qingning, the matchmaker, paid a formal visit to discuss the marriage of the two children.

When Xie Yanheng saw Xiao Lusheng and Su Yun, he was deeply moved for a moment and wanted to kowtow to Xiao Lusheng.

Xiao Lusheng said: "Ayao's rule is strict, and these kowtow rules will be abolished sooner or later."

"At least not yet. I just want to kowtow to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager."

Xiao Lusheng helped Xie Yanheng to stand up.

Su Yun helped Ou Yurong up. She smiled and said, "I thought Yao'er and Yunchu would definitely be a couple, but who would have thought that Aying and Chen'er would also have this fate."

Ou Yurong smiled and said with great emotion, "Who says it's not true? It is a blessing for the Duke's Mansion to be able to become relatives with the Queen Mother."

After greeting each other, Xiao Chen came over to pay his respects, then took his leave and went to look for Xie Ying.

Qingning smiled and said, "This is my first time to officially act as a matchmaker. I hope that our two families will be forever united..."

After that, a lot of auspicious words were said, and then the engagement letters were exchanged. The betrothal gifts and the like filled up the courtyard outside the main hall of the Duke's Mansion, and many of the betrothal gifts were piled in the corridors outside the courtyard.

This arrangement is also quite exquisite.

Xiao Chen arrived at the backyard. Xie Ying and Mingzhu were looking around in the yard. When they saw Xiao Chen, they were a little shy and a little surprised. "Why are you here?"

"Why can't I come?"

Xie Ying opened his mouth. Well, he could come in broad daylight. "What about your father and mother?"

"I'm talking to your father and mother. Aunt Qingning is the matchmaker for us."

"Godmother..."

"Ah."

The two looked at each other and thought, who should they listen to in the future regarding how to address each other?

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "You call her your godmother, and I call her my aunt. There's nothing wrong with that."

"Then what should I call you when I see the emperor and Yun Chu sees you in the future?"

Xiao Chen chuckled, "Yun Chu has to call me brother, and Yao Er has to call you sister-in-law." After a pause, he said, "After all, I am the oldest among us."

Xie Ying frowned, "In the Xie Guogong Mansion, do you have to call me big brother?"

Xiao Chen thought about it, looked at her seriously and asked, "Do you want me to call him Big Brother?"

Xie Ying nodded, "Yeah."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. As long as the occasion is appropriate, I'll call him Big Brother."

"Row."

Seeing that the two were chatting animatedly, Mingzhu went back to make tea.

When she came back, the two of them were already sitting in the pavilion.

"We will be busy for several days this month, and all procedures must follow the normal process," said Xiao Chen.

Xie Ying nodded, "I don't worry about it anyway."

"You have to worry about that, too."

"what?"

"You know the procedure for getting married. You may not be able to eat anything for the whole day, so let Mingzhu prepare some cakes and pastries for you."

Mingzhu said: "Don't worry, I will never let my young lady starve."

Xiao Chen took one look at Mingzhu and knew that this girl was loyal to Aying. "Okay, I'll give you a big red envelope when the time comes."

Mingzhu's eyes lit up. Normally, His Royal Highness Prince Chen was very generous. So when the eldest lady got married, shouldn't she be given a gift of one or two hundred taels?

"Then I would like to thank His Royal Highness Prince Chen first." Mingzhu said happily.

Xiao Chen smiled and looked at Xie Ying again, and the two began to play Go in the pavilion. Since Xiao Chen had taught her Go several times and she had read some books about Go, she could play a few more rounds with Xiao Chen now.

afternoon.

Luo Feng came to report that the procedures in the front yard had been completed and they were about to go back.

Xiao Chen had no choice but to put down the chess piece and said, "I'll see you another day."

Xie Ying smiled and said, "I'll see you tomorrow."

"it is good."

Xie Ying also put down the chess piece, then stood up and watched him leave.

After she could no longer see anyone, Xie Ying breathed a long sigh of relief. She touched her heart, which was beating too fast.

"Sister, are you getting more excited the closer the wedding date gets?" Mingzhu asked while collecting the chess pieces.

Xie Ying opened his mouth and put the black and white chess pieces into the chess box, "Hmm."

"I've heard from other maids that girls are like this before they get married."

Xie Ying had nothing to say.

Mingzhu continued, "Once you marry into Prince Chen's mansion, you will have a life of shamelessness and happiness."

"Who taught you to say that?"

"Other maids said that the time when a newlywed couple first gets married is the happiest and sweetest."

Xie Ying burst out laughing, "Our Mingzhu knows it so well, so you should think carefully about who your sweetheart is."

Mingzhu was stunned. "I don't have a lover. I am wholeheartedly following my sister to Prince Chen's Mansion."

This girl has a really stable character.

During the first month of this year, Su Yun, Xiao Lusheng, and Qing Ning all came to the Duke's Mansion several times. According to the old custom, they all wanted to happily marry Xie Ying.

That day, Su Yun and Xiao Lusheng went to Qingxigou, only to see Rong Xun sitting motionless by the stream pool.

Su Yun asked Jingwen, "Why don't you feed him?"

"The weather is still cold, and these fish have just recovered, so there is no rush to feed them."

"What will happen if I feed it?"

"He might get diarrhea and die." Jingwen said, spreading his hands.

Su Yun: “…”

When Rong Xun heard their voices, he turned around and said, "But it won't affect the viewing." They can spend the winter safely because the stream is deep and the temperature under the ice is not that cold.

Su Yun and Xiao Lusheng walked over, and sure enough, all the koi fish gathered around them asking for food.

"It's a pity that I can't feed you today." Su Yun said, squatting down to catch some fish, Xiao Lusheng quickly pulled her back, "It's too cold, don't freeze."

Su Yun paused, forget it, she also felt a little cold, then looked at Rong Xun and said: "Chen'er and Aying's marriage has gone through all the necessary procedures, and they will get married on the 16th of next month."

"Ah."

"Brother Rong, have you checked? Is everything going smoothly?" Su Yun asked with a smile.

Rong Xun nodded, "Don't worry, that was a good day chosen by Chen'er himself, how could he betray himself?"

"That's good."

Jingwen brought the chair that Rong Xun had made himself, and then saw Jian Shun and others moving a lot of things into the back room, but they did not move bedding.

It seems that the Emperor and the Empress Dowager will have to wait for some time, at least until the weather warms up, before they can come and live here.

Seeing this, Jingwen felt warm in his heart. From now on, his master would not be alone anymore. It was a real joy in life to have the company of his two close friends, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.

"Your Majesty, please take a seat, Empress Dowager." Jingwen put down the chair and greeted them.
