Is there anything else important to do?
Chu Qiuze racked his brains but could not come up with any idea until Lan An brought him to the gate of the official media office.
He had a vague guess in his mind, were they going to get married?
He had mentioned before that he wanted to get a marriage certificate from Dahan, but he himself didn't take it seriously. They could be together across time and space, so why should he care about that marriage certificate?
If we can’t get a marriage certificate, then we can just have a lifelong love relationship. This is Chu Qiuze’s idea.
But Lan An has always kept it in mind. They had a proposal ceremony, received their parents' approval, and even consummated their marriage.
Without that marriage certificate, in the eyes of outsiders, they were always an unmatched marriage with no name or status.
He has learned modern knowledge, but he is still traditional at heart. He wants to give Qingqing Qiu Ze a complete marriage.
Although it is not suitable to hold a wedding now, a marriage certificate is necessary.
Of course, this marriage certificate is not only for outsiders to see, but also a proof of the depth of their love.
"Let's go, Qingqing." Lan An took Chu Qiuze's hand and swaggered into the main hall of the official media.
Perhaps today is a good day, as there are quite a few newlyweds coming to register for their marriages. Their faces are filled with happy smiles, and their eyes are filled with longing for their future married life.
In this situation, Chu Qiuze's heart was also somewhat touched.
His future with Blue Gum...must be very sweet!
The official media is like a combination of a modern matchmaking agency and the Civil Affairs Bureau.
If young men and women of the right age in a family do not have a partner of their choice, they will first register here, and then the official media will recommend some suitable partners based on the information.
Of course, there are private matchmakers among the people. If you like a girl, you can ask a matchmaker to propose marriage, but the marriage still has to be registered at the official matchmaker's office.
The matchmaker of the official media office soon discovered that two important figures had arrived. He quickly handed over the work at hand to his subordinates and went forward to receive them in person.
"Your Highness, my idol." The matchmaker walked forward and bowed very cordially. Thinking of the crowd here, he said, "Please come in, my two nobles."
Lan An nodded and took Chu Qiuze into the back hall.
Chu Qiuze was a little confused. "I see that those who are registering for marriage are all queuing up in the front. Is it appropriate for us to cut in line like this?"
Even if you are a prince of noble status, this kind of privilege is unnecessary!
And it’s also quite interesting to experience queuing with the people and wishing each other well!
Lan An smiled and didn't answer.
The matchmaker said very flatteringly: "My dear, you don't know that the prince came to the matchmaker's house last month."
Turning back, he said to Lan An, "I have completed the tasks that the prince has instructed me to do. We are just waiting for you two newcomers to sign and register."
Chu Qiuze was even more confused. When did his husband Junjun come to the official media house? How come he didn't know?
The matchmaker was also given a task. What task?
In ancient times, getting married just involved registering, signing, and finally issuing a marriage certificate, right?
What other procedures are required?
The matchmaker took out a brocade box from the cabinet and handed it to Lan An in a very polite manner.
"My Lord, this is the marriage certificate you requested. Please see if you are satisfied with it. If not, I can ask you to change it until you and my Lord are satisfied."
Lan An opened the box and found a red book with gold stamping inside. He opened the book and took a look. He was quite satisfied and handed it to Chu Qiuze, "Qingqing, take a look at this marriage certificate. Do you like it?"
Chu Qiuze was confused. What did this marriage certificate have to do with Xiu Niang?
When he took it and looked at it, he was shocked.
The marriage certificate is inlaid with a selfie of him and Lan An, but that’s not a big deal. The key is this marriage certificate, which was embroidered stitch by stitch.
There is no doubt that this must have been arranged in advance by her husband. The black words on the paper would be easily damaged if not handled with care, but the embroidery could be preserved for a longer time.
The font looks familiar, like the Blue Gum font.
Therefore, Chu Qiuze guessed that the marriage certificate was written by his husband Junjun himself and then embroidered by the embroiderer.
Let’s look at the contents of the marriage certificate.
【I am glad that today’s wedding is over, and that we have finally found our love. Look at the peach blossoms, which are so beautiful today, and are a good match for our home. We will treat each other with respect, and enjoy the eternal bliss of love. I will write down my promise to be together till old age, and record the oath of love in the book of rouge, as a testimony! 】
It's quite standard, and it's in the style of ancient paintings.
Finally, when I looked at the signature of the newlyweds, the font looked familiar.
Some look like his, and some look like the blue gums.
After looking at it carefully again, not only the font looks familiar, but the word also looks familiar.
"Have you figured out anything?" Lan An's eyes were full of smiles.
Chu Qiuze shook his head, he really couldn't remember, he felt that the name was a bit weird.
"Do you still remember the first time you gave me a gift?" Lan An felt that his memory was not very good.
Of course Chu Qiu Ze remembered the first gift he gave. It was just a few notebooks and a pen.
Wait, pen.
Chu Qiu Ze seemed to remember something, but he couldn't get in. The font didn't look like calligraphy, but more like fountain pen font, and the pen tip was also sharper.
Lan An couldn't help but remind her again, "Do you still remember what you did to tease me when you taught me how to use a fountain pen?"
What did he do? At that time, he would secretly do something to seduce Lan Euan from time to time...
etc!
These two names were written by him while he was holding the blue gum.
No wonder, no wonder this font is so unique.
Chu Qiuze's heart was pounding as love and happiness instantly enveloped him.
His husband actually kept such an old thing, and at that time, his husband disliked him very much.
Chu Qiuze smiled, "Husband, you kept this word at that time. Did you fall in love with me at that time? Hmm?"
I don't know where the love comes from, but it is deep and lasting.
Although Lan An thought Chu Qiu Ze was frivolous and unreliable at the time, she had to admit that she envied this carefree and unrestrained man very much.
If I have to say when I fell in love.
That was the first glance when we first met, standing on the wall and looking into the distance.
Lan An did not give a direct answer, "Whenever you think it was, that's when I fell in love with you."
Chu Qiu Ze was so proud that he didn't care whether there was an annoying matchmaker beside him or not. He just leaned over and slapped Lan An on the face.
The matchmaker lowered his head. It has always been rumored that this man is straightforward and bold. He really didn't expect that he could be so bold.
It's broad daylight, in a clear and bright place, and there's a foreign man here, how could you, how could you do such an intimate thing?
As a matchmaker, he had seen a lot of love affairs between men and women, but he had never seen a kiss in public.
It is simply offensive to public morals.
But he was a low-ranking official and dared not say anything, so he could only pretend to be a pillar of society.
Lan An glanced at him, raised his eyebrows, turned his head, and kissed Chu Qiu Ze heavily on the lips.
"Be good, and we'll kiss each other when we get home." Lan An lowered his voice, "Let's look at the marriage certificate first, and see if I'm satisfied."
Chu Qiuze read the marriage certificate again and became more and more satisfied.
The one he was most satisfied with was the photo. He studied it carefully and found that the photo was embedded in the silk thread. He could take it out by gently pulling it apart, making it easy to replace.
Looking at the style of this marriage certificate, it is almost a combination of the modern marriage certificate and the ancient marriage certificate.
Her husband is very attentive.
"Satisfied." After admiring it, Chu Qiuze closed it carefully and put it into the brocade box.
Then he asked, “So, is this done?”
“No.” The one who spoke was the matchmaker. He felt that he was too superfluous and wanted to finish the matters of these two gods as soon as possible so as to send them back home.
"My dear, the marriage certificate is done. But we still need you and the prince to sign or stamp on our official media registration book."
Chu Qiuze understood, "Then hurry up!"
The matchmaker did not waste any time. This was the first case of a man and a man getting married and registering with the official matchmaker. He opened another booklet, thinking that in the future perhaps couples would follow the example of the two gods and record their marriages separately so that couples and husbands and wives could be managed separately in the future.
Lan An was very satisfied with his work attitude. He picked up a pen, held Chu Qiuze's hand, and wrote the registration information of the two in the booklet.
This marriage certificate is complete.
When Chu Qiu Ze walked out of the official media's house holding the golden box, he was still a little slow to react.
They, they are now a legal couple in Dahan, right?
Legal husband and wife...should we do something to commemorate the occasion?
What to do? Of course, do what you love.
After the previous incident, Lan An felt sorry for Chu Qiu Ze, and had been helping Chu Qiu Ze recuperate during this period, so she had never done it thoroughly again.
Today, the two of them thought of going out together, and tacitly drove back home.
Then he rolled onto the bed.
It was another beautiful night.
The two of them walked out of the room again at noon the next day.
They were preparing to go on a secret visit, so they asked their servants to pack simple clothes and went to the palace to meet the old emperor. They told him their plan and that they would take the little prince with them when they left the palace.
The old emperor was still hesitant at first. He was mainly afraid that his health would fail. What if the prince was not in the imperial city at that time and the other princes had some ideas? What would he do?
"Royal brother." Chu Qiuze changed the subject quite smoothly, "This is a pill for strengthening the body. Take one when you feel unwell. Although it is not as effective as the longevity pill, it can also make you healthy."
Besides, they will only be away for half a year at most this time.
The old emperor agreed and asked, "I heard that you two went to the official matchmaker's house to register your marriage yesterday?"
"Yes, my royal brother." Lan An replied, "My mother has passed away, so it is not appropriate to hold a wedding banquet. I thought that it would be appropriate for the two of us to have a name, so as not to humiliate the royal family."
The old emperor nodded. The two of them could get married through the contract, which was also the outcome he wanted to see.
He gave them some gifts as a token of his congratulations, and then asked the two to go back and prepare.
It was a beautiful spring day when we set out.
The group traveled light and disguised themselves as ordinary businessmen.
The road was flat and in just one day, we were far away from the imperial city.
"What's going on ahead? Why won't the carriage move?" Chu Qiuze, who had given up riding for a long time, now sat in the modified carriage, opened the curtain and asked, "Why is it stuck? Will there be a traffic jam in Dahan?"
The traffic has been stuck for quite a while.
Chu Qiuze, disguised as a nobleman, waved a folding fan and decided to get off the car to stretch his muscles.
"Can you still bear it?" Lan An asked concernedly, "If you can't get used to it, then drive a car tomorrow."
Chu Qiuze shook his head and refused. This carriage had been modified and it was not uncomfortable to sit in.
Besides, they were out on a secret visit, and driving around in a G-Class was too high-profile.
"Let's go to the front and see what's going on." Chu Qiu Ze heard the noise in front and wanted to go and watch.
Lan An stopped him and said, "Wait a minute."
He asked the guards accompanying him to investigate first to avoid any danger.
Soon, the guard came back, "Master, Second Master, there is a woman ahead who sold herself to bury her father, but she only wants to sell herself as a slave. Now a tyrant wants to buy her back to be a concubine, but the woman is unwilling, so she started to argue."
Chu Qiuze got the point. "Bully? Rape the girl?"
The guard replied, "According to the people around here, the tyrant's sister married the prefect here as a concubine, and she has done many things to bully others by taking advantage of her power."
Chu Qiuze and Lan An looked at each other, and it was time for them to uphold justice.
The group squeezed into the crowd, and Chu Qiu Ze called the guards to protect the girl and the straw mat on the ground first.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?" The bully said arrogantly, "This is the person our master wants. Who are you to dare to snatch him? Don't you want to die?"
The bully made a little girl lie on the ground, and sat on her back, looking chubby. "My friends, you don't look like locals, so stop meddling in other people's business."
"I'll take care of this matter." Chu Qiuze stepped forward, "Who do you think you are? How dare you bark in front of me?"
The woman who sold herself to bury her father seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. She knelt on the ground and crawled to Chu Qiuze, "Master, please save me. Just buy a coffin for my father. I am willing to work like a cow and a horse to repay you."
Chu Qiuze sighed secretly. There are evil people in every era. This woman looks pitiful.
He glanced at Lan An, who understood and took out a piece of silver from his purse, estimated to be about ten taels, and asked the guard to hand it to the woman.
The woman was so grateful that tears streamed down her face. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly to express her gratitude.
Seeing that this group of people simply ignored him, the bully was furious, "You guys are really trying to make things difficult for me, right?" The bully stood up, and the fat on his body shook three times. He took into account that there were quite a lot of people in this group, and if a fight really broke out, he might not end up in any good situation.
He thought for a moment, "Judging from your attire, you should be merchants passing by. I suggest you go and find out who I am. I'm sure you all understand that the people should not fight against the officials."
What a good example of the people not fighting against the officials! Chu Qiuze and Lan An both laughed out of anger.
The bully pointed at Chu Qiuze again and said, "As long as you kneel down and kowtow to me, call me Master and spare my life, and hand this woman over to me, I will let you go."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a snap, the sound of his arm breaking.
Without even waiting for his master to speak, the guard stepped forward, disarmed the bully's arm, and pinned him to the ground.
The bully was in pain and angry, and called out to his younger brother fiercely, "Hit him, hit him hard."
The crowd of onlookers scattered instantly.
But this fight was a one-sided crushing victory.
After all, Lan An and Chu Qiu Ze were on a tour with the little prince this time, so their followers were all experts. They were too lazy to draw their swords to deal with a dozen thugs.
Within a few breaths, a dozen little girls were lying on the ground wailing.
The bully was also a brainless person, "Do you know who I am? Why don't you release me quickly and make a good apology to me, and I will consider leaving you with an intact body."
There were a few brave people in the crowd who were also worried that these kind-hearted people would suffer, so they stepped forward to persuade them, "You should leave quickly. The bully has powerful forces behind him. Normally, no ordinary people dare to provoke him."
Chu Qiuze looked disdainful as he walked up to the bully and looked down at him: "How powerful is the force behind him? How powerful is it? Can it be as powerful as mine?"
The bully had never been bullied like this before. He swore at them with foul language and even asked the little girls lying on the ground to curse him too.
If they can't beat them, is it possible that they can't scold them?
"How dare you." Lan An didn't have time to argue with these people. He drew out his sword, shining with a cold light, and placed it directly on the bully's neck.
"This is the God of Light. You rats can't insult him at will."
Chu Qiuze turned his head and looked at Lan An intently.
In an instant, everything in the world lost its color, and all the sounds in the world fell silent at this moment.
Only the man in black holding a long sword and the man in white waving a folding fan exist like the highlights of a movie.
