"Yuan Zheng greets auntie, I hope you are doing well. You are joking, auntie. It's rude of you, a junior, to come visit after such a long time." As a junior, Yu Yuan Zheng should not be self-righteous.

She was conferred the title of Lord Xi by the Emperor, and it was perfectly fine for her to call Huining Lord Xi "Aunt".

This was Yu Yuanzheng’s third visit to Chang Xi’s residence. The first two times she came at night, she was in disguise.

"Greetings, Lord Chang." Miao Bingwen also stepped forward to pay his respects.

When Master Huining saw that he was wearing a festive long robe and looked much more energetic, he nodded with satisfaction.

The group entered the main hall and sat down.

"Aunt, Miao Tanqi came to the mansion yesterday and asked me to act as a matchmaker for him, and to marry Lady Xiangling. Today we come with the greatest sincerity. Please grant us your blessing, aunt." As she spoke, Yu Yuanzheng took out the gift list and presented it to him.

Hua Xiangling, who was standing behind Master Huining, looked at Miao Bingwen generously.

A face full of smiles.

Miao Bingwen didn't dare to look her in the eye.

Abbot Huining took the gift list and looked at it carefully.

The more I look at it, the more satisfied I am.

All common gifts for proposing marriage are available.

She knew that this was not something Miao Bingwen could come up with.

Yu Yuanzheng also found the right balance.

Everyone knew that Miao Bingwen came from a poor family, so he just needed to be polite and do just right.

Master Huining read it with satisfaction and nodded repeatedly.

The fact that he was shameless enough to ask the Lord of the Nation for help showed his sincerity towards his daughter.

Needless to say, both sides had a very pleasant conversation.

Huining Changzhu had been extremely anxious for a long time, so they hit it off immediately.

We discussed the follow-up on the spot.

Proposing marriage today is considered as accepting the betrothal gift.

The following steps of asking for the name, accepting the marriage proposal, accepting the betrothal gift and asking for the date were all completed in a short time.

Later, the wedding date was set for the second day of August.

Miao Bingwen also talked about his plan to go out and gain experience.

Abbot Huining was very supportive.

Officials who have gained experience in foreign posts will have a brighter future if they return to Beijing.

As a scout, Miao Bingwen usually entered the Hanlin Academy as an editor. Although he could get in touch with the political affairs of the capital more quickly, he needed to endure time.

However, he wrote to the Ministry of Personnel to request an external appointment, and with the help of Huining Changzhu, his appointment letter was soon issued.

Coincidentally, he happened to take over Yu Yuanzheng's father's job as the county magistrate of Jiangqing County.

Yu Yunzhi's term of office had just expired, so he returned to Beijing just in time for the arrival of the Jinshi of this subject.

Among these three, Yu Yunzhi was evaluated as excellent, so the emperor summoned him back to the capital.

In the previous incident involving the Second Prince, many officials from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Rites were implicated, leaving many positions vacant.

And he is Yu Yuanzheng's father, so the emperor naturally pays more attention to his performance.

Time was tight, so preparations for the wedding were quickly started.

Yu Qingsheng will also take up his post next month, as an editor at the Hanlin Academy.

So I went shopping with Miao Bingwen to prepare for the wedding.

After this period of time, the brotherhood between the two became stronger.

Before he was fourteen, Yu Qing lived in the Yong'an Earl's Mansion, leading a repressed life and watching his father begging for a living like a servant under the eldest wife.

Having seen all these things since childhood, I have not developed a character that is too ambitious, but instead have become more pragmatic.

Miao Biaowen was born in a poor family, so he knew that his life today was hard-earned and he cherished it even more.

The two will hit it off right away.

Yu Yuanzheng did not give Miao Bingwen 30,000 taels of silver directly, but only gave him a silver note for 10,000 taels and asked him to buy what he wanted.

Ask Ziyue and Jiang Xi to help buy the rest, and give him the account book when the time comes.

In the end, a betrothal gift of 25,000 taels was sent.

After receiving them, Abbot Huining counted them one by one and found that all the common ones were present.

There are also two sets of the most exquisite jewelry for the daughter, which shows that the future son-in-law has put a lot of thought into it.

Very satisfied.

She didn't mind Miao Bingwen's poverty, all she wanted was an attitude.

However, twenty-five thousand taels of betrothal gift is not a small amount.

She had prepared her daughter's dowry several months ago and was just waiting to decide on a family and a date so she could get married at any time.

It can be seen that for the sake of her daughter, Mrs. Huining gave her all the love a mother could give.

Soon it was the second day of August.

Yu Yuanzheng did not have classes that day as it was due to the wedding of Hua Xiangling and Miao Bingwen.

The three treasures won’t have class today.

They also have important tasks.

Roll on the wedding bed!

When the three treasures were still young and knew nothing, they were pushed into the marriage bed by their own mother.

Now they are three and a half years old and don’t need anyone to teach them.

Yu Yuanzheng acts as a matchmaker, but she doesn’t really do the work of a matchmaker.

On the wedding day, Miao Bingwen invited an official matchmaker to go with him to welcome the bride.

Yu Yuanzheng was then taken to the residence of Principal Huining to accompany Hua Xiangling as a good sister.

Watch her put on her makeup.

I will send her off to get married later and go to Yu Mansion together.

"Cousin Yuan Zheng, no, from now on I will not call you cousin, I will call you sister Yuan Zheng. From today onwards you should call me sister-in-law." Hua Xiangling did not have the slightest shame of being a bridegroom.

"No problem, since the eldest brother of the Miao family has sworn brotherhood with my younger brother, then he is my sworn brother.

When you return from your post, let him formally recognize my parents as his or her godfather and godmother.

The timing is not right now. You go, they go back.

No, you can hold the ceremony after you arrive in Jiangqing County.

I'll write a letter to tell my parents." Yu Yuanzheng thought it would be hard for the two families to meet.

She almost forgot that her parents wouldn't come back until she and her husband arrived.

Isn't that a chance for us to meet?

"Just do as you say." Hua Xiangling kept this incident in mind.

She was happiest to be able to become a family with Yuan Zheng.

The relationship became one step closer.

Madam Quanfu combed her hair.

"Xiangling, today I will personally put the phoenix crown on you." Yu Yuanzheng stood up and wanted to do something to express his blessing to the girl.

"Okay." Hua Xiangling felt Yu Yuanzheng's intentions and said yes with a sweet smile.

Yu Yuanzheng solemnly held up the phoenix crown specially prepared by Master Huining with both hands.

As soon as she picked it up, she felt how heavy it was.

This phoenix crown is made of pure gold, and is inlaid with several crystal clear pearls and sparkling gems. The combination of the two seems to condense the essence of the sun and the moon, and the brilliance of the stars.

On the top of the crown, a phoenix with its wings spread out is lifelike, and its feathers are delicately carved, each piece seems to sway gently in the breeze, releasing a noble and extraordinary aura.

Under the phoenix crown, there are several strings of fine tassels hanging.

So exquisite that it dazzles the eyes.

It is much more beautiful than the one she wore when she got married.

It can be seen that the eldest master has put a lot of thought into his daughter.

"Come, put on your clothes." Yu Yuanzheng picked up the shawl and put it on Hua Xiangling.

After putting on her clothes, Hua Xiangling turned around in front of the mirror again.

"Cousin Yuan Zheng, is she beautiful?"

"She is so beautiful, as beautiful as a fairy. She will surely enchant everyone so much that they won't even blink." Yu Yuanzheng's praise came from the bottom of her heart.

It's really beautiful.

Thinking back to the first time I met this girl, the old scars on her face from burns were so shameful.

Looking at her today, she seems to have been reborn.

"Sister, you are the most beautiful woman in the world." Hua Xiangling's younger brothers and sisters also praised sincerely.

At this moment, the sound of suona was heard outside the mansion.

The groom came to pick up the bride.

Miao Bingwen was a successful candidate in the imperial examination and had fellow Jinshi candidates who stayed in Beijing. Some of them had written invitations to him, while others who had not received any came to congratulate him when they learned that he was getting married today.

In the end, they all accompanied him to the wedding.

It added a powerful lineup to his wedding team.

The Hua family members who were blocking the door of the Lord's Mansion were no match for this group of people.

No matter what problem arises, it can be solved easily.

In the end, it only took a quarter of an hour to reach the gate of the inner courtyard.

Hua Xiangling's younger brother Hua Du came in obediently and carried people to bid farewell to their parents.

But during this process, Hua Xiangling, who had always been carefree and happy, started crying.
