Chapter 68(1/2)
"Of course, the emperor doesn't need to be sunbathed. When he goes out, someone lifts a canopy for him, so we can't do it. We wear too much, and every time we go back, I'm covered in sweat. I'm afraid I'll get you so I'll come after taking a shower."
After Qi Jing finished explaining, he turned the person over and said with some appreciation: "A Jin, you smell it, there is no smell of sweat at all, right?"
Xu Jin:...
She sniffed her face.
After being together for so long, Xu Jin has already found out the way.
The more shy she begs him, the more Qi Jing becomes. He dared not move if he scares him like this.
Qi Jing was indeed afraid that she would do this, so he stepped back a little disappointedly. After a while, he held her hand and said, "A Jin, I will come to your house to hire him on the tenth day of May.
The emperor has given me a lot of things in the past two months, and I will give them to you as a betrothal gift.”
“Are there many?
Would it be too expensive?
Have you discussed it with Grandma Qi?"
Xu Jin turned his head and asked him.
There are many rules for the betrothal gift, and she is afraid that Qi Jing will make jokes if she wants.
Qi Jing took the opportunity to move to her. With the brilliance of Ye Mingzhu, he stared at her bright almond eyes and said, "I said it, grandmother said it is OK.
But my grandmother scolded me and said that I only think about my wife if I have any good things. I don’t know how to be filial to her.”
Xu Jin was both ashamed and sweet, glared at him, turned around and said, "Who is your wife?
We are not married yet.”
Qi Jing chased after her with a thick face, hugged her and said, "You are my wife. In my eyes, you are my wife long ago."
Here Qi Jing used the betrothal gift he saved to coax his fiancée to reward him, while there was also discussing the betrothal gift with Xiao.
"A Jing is the eldest, and he has been away from home with his grandfather and grandmother since he was a child. I have not fulfilled my responsibility to be a father to him. This time he gets married, so I will give the Xu family more betrothal gifts. What do you think?"
"It should be like this."
No matter how many things are produced, Xiao’s family will naturally not be petty about such things. Only those short-sighted people will keep their eyes on their property.
Xiao saw it very clearly. If Qi Heng and Qi Ning were successful, they would make a future for themselves. If the two of them achieved nothing, no matter how much property she had for them was useless.
However, Xiao had confidence in her two sons, and they would not disappoint her.
His wife was virtuous and generous. Qi Yan pinched her hand with satisfaction, thought for a while, and said, "Aheng is not young anymore. Please pay attention carefully. If there is a suitable family, please make a reservation early, and make a reservation early and feel at ease."
"Well, I know, I'm going to do A Jing's business now. I already have a few candidates on Ah Heng. I will tell you together at that time."
Mrs. Xiao leaned into her husband's arms and said softly.
The next morning, Xiao took the betrothal gift list she had discussed with her husband to look at for Old Mrs. Qi.
"Is this a bit thicker?"
Old Mrs. Qi was satisfied, but she asked in a fake way.
That's the case when people get along with each other. When the daughter-in-law gets things done, her mother-in-law naturally has to come forward and praise her. The daughter-in-law may not care, but she will definitely be happy if she hears it.
If she should have such an attitude, the other party would feel disgusted.
Xiao smiled and said, "Ajing is our eldest son. He is now working with the emperor, so he should be more serious.
In fact, when my daughter-in-law was in the first marriage, I don’t know if the preparation was right. Mother, please help me take a look?
If it is insufficient, I will discuss with his father and add more.”
"Enough is enough, I have always been at ease with you.
But what you said just now makes sense. Let's do it. I will add more to his grandfather and you don't have to worry about it anymore.
When the second and third brothers get married in the future, we will follow this example. If there are not many things, we will regard it as the wish of our grandparents."
Old Mrs. Qi said with a smile.
Xiao echoed and laughed.
Both parents-in-law and in-laws are easy to get along with, and you can give your grandson a betrothal gift according to your preferences. She doesn't stare at this.
After some busy schedule, the Qi family's betrothal gift was ready.
On the day of the appointment, Qi Jing changed into a bright and exquisite robe, rode a tall horse, and led the servants carrying the betrothal gifts to the Xu family.
The team of recruitment was huge, and the wooden box wrapped in red silk attracted countless people to watch.
"Hey, isn't that the top martial arts champion?
It’s so good. At the beginning of the year, I’m going to be in the bridal chamber. Big and small graduates come one after another.”
"Yes, but I think the top scholar seems to be looking forward to Xiao Dengcai even more. Look at the corners of his mouth are raised, but the top scholar has been cold when he paraded in the street..."
"Tell me nonsense. I heard that the top martial arts scholar laughed when he was parading on the street, which fascinated the little girl. Unfortunately, it was said that he laughed when he saw his fiancée.
Tsk, I guess the girl from the Xu family must be beautiful, so she was fascinated by the top scholar. She was the only one in her eyes."
"Aren't you talking nonsense? You've grown up like your daughter and scared the top scholar away, hahaha..."
"Say it again! Your daughter is not as good as..."
The people watching were talking and joking. Qi Jing heard it, but seemed not to hear it. She just thought that she would arrive at the Xu family for a while and just be able to meet her.
Last night she said she made a new set of clothes for today to wear. She likes to dress herself up the most. Since she said it out, it must be a very nice dress. He wanted to see it, although she looks good in everything she wears.
Of course, she looks better when she doesn't wear it.
.
Xu Jin did wear the dress specially prepared for the next day.
The bright red color is the same as the wedding dress. The style is much simpler, but the bright color still makes her skin look fair and moist, and her bright eyes are as bright as water.
Like all the girls waiting to marry, she sat shyly on the kang, and the women who came to congratulate her looked and evaluated.
The next hiring is the most important step before getting married. The man gave the betrothal gift, and the two of them were considered halfway.
Xu Jin was very embarrassed to experience these for the first time in his life and even forgot about the boredom of sitting there.
After the wives finished watching and went out, the house was rarely quiet, and the noise in front became particularly obvious.
Xu Jin heard someone calling Qi Jing's name, and as for what he called him, she couldn't hear it clearly.
She could only sit on the kang honestly, and the guests didn't leave. She couldn't even leave. She really didn't know what the rules were.
"Sister, sister, many people outside ask Brother Qi to drink."
Brother Xi ran in with his short legs and leaned against the edge of the kang and said to her.
"So did he drink?"
There were only two siblings in the room. Xu Jin reached out and carried his younger brother to the kang and asked with a smile.
Brother Xi nodded, “I drank it all, I tilted my neck and drank it in one sip. Those people applauded.
Sister, Brother Qi is so awesome. I like him to be my brother-in-law.”
Xu Jin's face turned red and he pinched his younger brother's face, "Who taught you to call him brother-in-law?"
She hasn't taught her.
"Meng Shou said."
The sister pinched it didn't hurt at all. Brother Xi grinned, and then didn't know what to think of again. The little boy turned over and knelt down and hugged his sister, raised his head and asked, "Meng Shou also said that his sister could not come back often after she got married. Is that true?
But I want my sister to live at home, but I don’t want you to live at Brother Qi’s house.”
Xu Jin's tears came out in an instant.
Both younger brothers came too late. Even if she got married two years later, she could not take care of them for too long. She could not watch them grow up like jumping boys and young men who were obediently studying.
"Sister, don't cry, Dad said, even if you get married, my second brother and I can go to you when we grow up and help you beat Brother Qi.
Dad also said that if Brother Qi makes you unhappy, let us take you back."
Brother Xi took out his little handkerchief and reached out to wipe his sister's tears.
"Well, sister is waiting for you to hit him."
Xu Jin wiped his tears, lowered his head and touched his head and said, "Okay, Brother Xi will go to the front to help his father entertain guests. Come and sleep with his sister at night. I will tell you a story."
There will be guests coming soon. She is afraid that Brother Xi will continue to talk and she can't help crying.
"Well, I'll go find Meng Shou to play."
Brother Xi nodded obediently and jumped off the ground and ran away.
Xu Jin watched his younger brother, feeling an indescribable complex feeling in his heart.
Qi Jing doesn't like living with her parents. He just wants to be with her, so he can only go out of the way. She is destined to leave home.
But what can she do? Life cannot be satisfactory in everything. When she goes with Qi Jing, she does have to endure the longing of staying away from her relatives, but she will have a new life without having to respect her parents-in-law and be the master of her own.
As Qi Jing said, he would do whatever she wanted to do.
