They can no longer look back, and the only way to achieve true perfection is to move forward and achieve self-perfection.
Shopkeeper Wang still felt it was a pity.
Xu Jiang consoled him, "Don't worry, brother. Even though Mother and I can't be together all the time, we can still get together every year. She will come to Beijing to attend the ceremony next March, and I will visit her in Chongzhou every year from now on. It's not like we'll never see each other again."
Although Chongzhou and the capital are far apart, as long as their hearts are together, thousands of mountains and rivers are just a gauze curtain. If the hearts are not in the same place, even if they are in the capital, they will be as far apart as the ends of the earth.
Just like Song Qiao and her mother.
"That's good." Upon learning that Xu Jiang's mother was coming to the capital to attend the ceremony, Shopkeeper Wang finally put on a smile and asked, "So, how are the preparations for your wedding with Brother Lou going?"
"This..." Although their marriage was verbally agreed upon by Master Lin and Lou Jing, she and Lou Yunchun left the capital one after another, and the situation in the court was tense, everyone was busy with other things, so the formal three books and six ceremonies had not yet been completed.
"Has his family hired a matchmaker to come and formally propose marriage?"
Xu Jiang shook her head. No one was around, so who could she ask for marriage?
Shopkeeper Wang looked at her disapprovingly. Although Xu Jiang and Lou Yunchun loved each other, the Lou family and Master Lin had already agreed on the marriage. From then on, everything just needed to be carried out according to the rules and etiquette.
But from proposing marriage proposal, asking for name, proposing good luck, accepting betrothal gifts, asking for date to the final wedding, which one is not trivial?
If it were an ordinary family, they would have been busy a long time ago, but these two families are still dawdling. At this rate, when will he be able to drink at his sister's wedding?
"No, I have to talk to Brother Lou." He stood up and went to see if Lou Yunchun had returned.
Xu Jiang hurriedly held him down. "Don't worry, brother. This matter is under the jurisdiction of Master Lin and Mr. Lou. These two elders are both experienced and calm men. Since they are not in a hurry, they must have already made a decision. If I ask them, I'm afraid I'll make a fool of myself."
"You have a point. It was my fault for not considering it carefully." Shopkeeper Wang was rash because he had just heard what Xu Jiang said and was eager to let her have a home of her own.
He drank his tea and tried to suppress his impatience, but failed. "Then when are you going to the academy?"
Xu Jiang laughed and said, "I'll go there in a while."
Shopkeeper Wang nodded, then whispered, "It's hard to rush them, so we have to hurry up. Has Madam Cui delivered the wedding dress yet?"
It turned out that he was the one who went to inform Madam Cui that she was coming.
Xu Jiang pointed to the wooden box beside him and said, "It's been delivered."
"That's good. Remember to try it."
"knew."
Seeing her sitting in the shop with a smile on her face, Shopkeeper Wang recalled the first time he saw her. His heart was tangled again, and he sighed, "Thinking about you getting married, I really feel a bit indescribable."
It has only been a year since they met, became sworn brothers, and now they are like real siblings.
He was afraid that she would be lonely, and he was also worried that she would be neglected after getting married.
Xu Jiang understood what Shopkeeper Wang meant. "Don't worry, brother. Even if we get married, I will still be the shopkeeper of this bookstore, and I will still be Xu Jiang of Huailiu Lane."
Then he whispered, "Besides, he had already bought a house in Yonghefang long before he left the capital. It's right next door. After we get married, this will be our second home besides the house. You and I can still be neighbors."
"Really? When did you buy it? Why didn't you tell me earlier? It's on the next street, but it used to be Mr. Chen's house. Did you ask someone to check the feng shui? Did you ask someone to renovate it? When can you move in? I've checked the date..."
Xu Jiang was dizzy from his string of questions. "Stop, stop, stop! Ask one by one."
Shopkeeper Wang stared at her expectantly. "Is the house big? How many entrances and exits does it have?"
Xu Jiang was silent for a moment, then suddenly thought of a question and said thoughtfully, "We haven't seen this house yet."
"What!" Shopkeeper Wang jumped up suddenly.
My God, why are these two people so unreliable in their actions!
