When Chen Qiu and the old Duke came out, Xiao Hang was standing at the palace gate. Chen Qiu looked at Lan Yu, who smiled evilly.
He walked over to Xiao Hang and said, "How is it? How is the pain of missing you?"
Xiao Hang lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, I only just now realize how much you miss me."
Lan Yu snorted coldly and said, "If I had known it would be so effective, I should have used it on you earlier."
The Ye Mansion is six miles away from the imperial palace. After Lan Yu and the others left for a while, Xiao Hang could no longer sit still in the medicine garden. Lan Yu's smile kept appearing in his mind, and the little moments they had spent together in Ye Nan Kingdom also appeared in his mind bit by bit.
Before Xiao Hang left Lan Yu, he also missed Lan Yu, but under the influence of the insect, this longing was infinitely magnified.
Tears kept flowing, and it felt like countless ants were running around in his heart. He had only one thought, which was to see Lan Yu as soon as possible. He wanted to see her.
He walked all the way to the palace. After walking out of Ye Mansion for a while, the feeling disappeared. He thought everything was fine, so he returned to Ye Mansion. Before he went back, the heart-wrenching feeling came back again. This happened two or three times. Later, Xiao Hang simply waited at the palace gate.
Standing here, although the emotions caused by the poisonous insect were gone, Xiao Hang could never forget that unforgettable feeling.
Xiao Hang suddenly stepped forward and hugged Lan Yu, saying, "I'm sorry." It seemed that apart from these three words, he really didn't know what to say.
Mu Qing and Mingyue are about to set off for Jiangnan. This is a task arranged by Ye Chen early in the morning.
But it was postponed by seven days than previously scheduled.
Because Mu Qing asked to get married before leaving.
On the second day of the Double Ninth Festival, Chen Qiu and Xing'er began to arrange Mingyue and Mu Qing's wedding.
Chen Qiu moved out all her dowry, and then called people from Jinyifang and Cuiyu Pavilion. She wanted to choose wedding dresses for Mingyue and Muqing, as well as a headdress for Mingyue.
Chen Qiu held up her dowry list and said, "Mingyue and Muqing don't know how to run a business, so I'll give them two farms. They'll have income every year, and they won't have to worry too much."
"We also need to give Mingyue a courtyard. I have a courtyard with two entrances in the east. I'll give it to Mingyue as a dowry so that if they want to live outside, they'll have a place to go. It's not far from here."
Xing'er said with a smile: "Mingyue will become a wealthy woman."
Chen Qiu looked at Xing'er and said, "When you get married, I will give you a dowry similar to Mingyue's."
"You and I grew up together and have been through so much together. I have to let you marry off in a grand manner."
Xing'er blushed and said, "What are you thinking about, Madam? I haven't thought about getting married yet."
Chen Qiu smiled and stopped teasing Xing'er.
At this time, Lan Yu came over with a small package in her hand.
As soon as she entered the room, she said, "I heard from the old lady that when a daughter of the Great Yin Kingdom gets married, her family and friends have to contribute to the dowry. I'm here to contribute to Mingyue's dowry too."
As she said this, she placed the package in her hand on a small table and opened it, revealing several porcelain bottles inside.
It was inscribed with the words "Golden Wound Medicine", "Detoxification Pill", and "Resurrection Pill". They were all worth a fortune and hard to come by in the martial arts world.
Lan Yu said, "I made these myself. The herbs used in these are all common herbs, except for a few rare and precious ones. Luckily, you have them in your Duke's Mansion, so I made some for Mingyue."
"They're going to go south after they get married, so it's better to have these things ready."
Chen Qiu took it and said, "I thank you on their behalf."
Chen Qiu took Xing'er to find Mingyue and discussed with her which courtyard they should live in after getting married. There were few people in the Duke's Mansion but many courtyards, and some courtyards had been idle. After Chen Qiu got married, she locked up several courtyards.
Mingyue will live in the Duke's Mansion after she gets married, so she needs to be given a separate courtyard.
Chen Qiu asked Xing'er to take the key and took Mingyue to check out the courtyards closest to Qiuchen Courtyard.
Finally, they chose a courtyard southeast of Qiuchen Courtyard, with three main rooms and two side rooms.
Chen Qiu said: "Since you like it, then this yard will be it. Xing'er, arrange for someone to clean it up within two days, and I will ask the Duke to send someone to buy furniture."
"Xing'er, pick two older maids to take care of Mingyue, and two rough maids to take charge of daily cleaning. This courtyard also needs a name, and matters like naming must be decided by my husband."
Xing'er winked at Mingyue and said with a smile, "Yes, Madam, I will pick a few clever maids to come over!"
Mingyue leaned her head and said, "Thank you, Madam! Is it too much? I'm just a maid, this..."
Chen Qiu hurriedly said: “You are a maid, but Mu Qing is the Duke’s close bodyguard, and he is also a guard of rank, so it’s not much at all.”
Before dinner, Chen Qiu and Ye Chen arrived at Rongwei Hall early. Chen Qiu said to Madam Xiao coquettishly, "Grandma, I want to ask you for some extra makeup for Mingyue today."
Xiao Taijun smiled and said, "I have already prepared it."
Then he said to a maid beside him: "Amber, go and get the makeup I prepared for Mingyue!"
Amber brought over a box about 11 or 12 inches long. Madam Xiao took it and handed it to Chen Qiu, saying, "I like to collect all kinds of headwear, but I don't like to use them. Mingyue is a girl with a bold personality, so she doesn't suit anything too complicated."
"I have a simple magnolia headpiece here, all carved from mutton-fat jade, just right for her!"
When Chen Qiu opened it, he saw that this set of mutton-fat jade headbands were all carved with magnolia flowers. Each flower was not big, only the size of a little finger, but it looked lifelike.
Simple and elegant, it suits Mingyue's personality perfectly.
There were two hairpins on her head, a pair of earrings, and a magnolia pendant. Shen Qiu put them away and bowed to Xiao Taijun, saying happily: "Qiu'er thanks Grandmother on Mingyue's behalf!"
On the way back to Qiuchen Courtyard, Ye Chen looked at Chen Qiu who was smiling all the way and said: "Why are you so happy? It's like you are getting married yourself!"
Chen Qiu said, "Of course I'm happy. Mingyue was picked up by my father when she was two years old. Northwest China doesn't have so many rules like in Kyoto. She has lived and eaten with me since she was a child. I treat her and Xing'er as sisters. I am naturally happy that she can marry a man of her dreams."
"Of course I was happier when I got married!" The last sentence was spoken softly, but Ye Chen still heard it.
Yes, when Qiu'er married him, she knew that he was her older brother, so she was more happy at that time. But she didn't expect that she would destroy it with her own hands on the wedding night. Thinking of this, Ye Chen sighed.
