Zhao Yuxiao, a tall man, started to act coquettishly towards Ying Xixi.
"Chunhua, please stay with me for a while."
Ying Xixi: “….”
Who can stand a rough guy acting like a spoiled brat?
Anyway, she really couldn't stand it.
"Okay, okay, I'll stay a little longer then."
Ying Xixi agreed, and Zhao Gouzi was happy.
He asked Ying Xixi to sit next to him, bravely took Ying Xixi's arm, and then held her hand.
The visual impact of the wheat-colored big hand and the porcelain-white small hand clasped together made Zhao Yuxiao feel his heart beating violently.
"Chunhua, can I hold your hand?"
Ying Xixi: “…”
"Aren't you already holding her hand? General, are the customs at the border so open? Would a general hold a little girl's hand directly?"
Ying Xixi deliberately joked.
Zhao Yuxiao cleared his throat. "Well, after all, we are already an engaged couple, so we should cultivate our relationship. What do you think, Chunhua?"
Ying Xixi couldn't help but laugh.
Zhao Yuxiao has finally learned how to be smooth-talking.
Zhao Yuxiao expressed his feelings to Ying Xixi, hoping that time would pass more slowly.
But night still fell on time.
Ying Xixi really planned to leave this time. Zhao Yuxiao reluctantly saw her off downstairs and watched her get on the carriage and leave.
After Ying Xixi left, Zhao Yuxiao seemed to be energized, his eyes became determined, and he was ready to get down to business.
After Ying Xixi returned home, Yang Lin happened to come to her yard to look for her, so she took the opportunity to tell her that she wanted to find an auspicious day to marry Zhao Yuxiao.
Yang Lin had a look of great displeasure on her face.
Although he was helpless, he still agreed to ask someone to choose a good date and start making preparations for the wedding.
Two days later, Yang Lin came to tell Ying Xixi that the auspicious day would be the eighth day of the first lunar month one month later.
"Xixi, there's only a month left, isn't it too rushed?"
Yang Lin was actually not in a hurry to marry off her daughter.
"Mom, besides this day being a good day, are there any other similarly good days?"
Ying Xixi asked while eating grapes.
"The closer date will be half a year from now."
Ying Xixi shook her head when she heard this. "Half a year is too long, Mom. Let's set it for the eighth day of the first lunar month, a month from now."
Yang Lin was annoyed. "It's hard to prepare anything in a month, and you're so anxious to marry into the General's Mansion?"
Ying Xixi smiled and stuffed a grape into her stepmother's mouth, "Mom, isn't it because a month is a short time, so it's less likely for something unexpected to happen?
Half a year is too long, and some things are hard to say. What if the emperor suddenly asks the general to go to the border, what will happen to our marriage?
The general will do his best to prepare everything that needs to be prepared. Or, mother, you can send someone to the general's mansion to ask if the general has sent anyone to check the auspicious date?
I mentioned this to him when I saw him two days ago, but I didn’t specify who would be there to see the good days.”
"You're right, okay, mother will send someone to ask, and it would be better if you get married early, so that the rumors in the capital won't affect your relationship.
By the way, your father had people investigate the people who spread your secret and taught them a lesson.
As time goes by, I believe that the discussion about you and General Zhao in the capital will decrease."
Ying Xixi didn't ask who spread the news. No one tried to hide her past experiences in Taohua Village, and anyone who wanted to investigate could find out.
As long as my cheap dad teaches that guy a lesson, that's enough.
As the mother and the two were talking, a servant came to report that Zhao Yuxiao had asked someone to say that the next auspicious days he had asked someone to look at were the eighth day of the first lunar month one month later and the eighth day of the first lunar month six months later, and came to ask which day the Yang family wanted to choose.
After listening to the servant's report, Yang Lin's anger dissipated a lot.
"Go tell the general's men to avoid any more trouble. Choose a good day a month from now."
"yes."
The wedding date was set, and Ying Xixi had to spend the next period of time sewing her wedding dress at home.
Of course, she was not good at needlework and could not sew the wedding dress, so she had to ask the embroiderer to do it for her. At the end, she just had to sew a few symbolic stitches.
During this month, Ying Xixi and Zhao Yuxiao met whenever they were free to cultivate their relationship.
Ying Xixi went back to the general's mansion several times.
The maids who used to be her "colleagues" also recognized her.
Everyone was overwhelmed with emotions at the moment. No one would have thought that the skinny, yellow-skinned, and inconspicuous Chunhua was actually the long-lost daughter of the Minister of Justice!
No one expected that Chunhua's yellowish skin color was something she created on purpose. The real Chunhua had fair and tender skin, and her appearance was no less than those noble ladies in the capital.
No one expected that Chunhua, whose life story was known to everyone, would actually marry the general!
From this point of view, Chunhua and the general had already fallen in love with each other when Chunhua was still a maid.
How enviable!
But when they thought that Chunhua was actually a barren woman and the general had difficulty in having children, everyone didn't know whether to envy or sympathize with her.
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
During this month, the capital and the palace were peaceful.
Although from time to time, Zhao Yuxiao would be assassinated in the middle of the night.
Zhao Yuxiao thought about what to do if the dog emperor sent assassins to kill him after he married Chunhua.
What should I do if I scare Chunhua? What should I do if I disturb her sleep?
Thinking of this, Zhao Yuxiao couldn't stop his anger.
He simply killed all the assassins in the middle of the night, and then brought the assassins' bodies to the palace when he went to court the next day to ask the emperor for his decision.
The emperor, who was originally the mastermind behind the scenes, became nervous and alert after seeing Zhao Yuxiao's actions.
He even suspected that Zhao Yuxiao knew that these assassins were sent by him, so he deliberately did this to warn him.
After this incident, the emperor indeed became much more obedient and no longer sent assassins to kill Zhao Yuxiao.
However, by doing this, he was proving himself again that it was indeed he who sent the assassin to kill Zhao Yuxiao.
Zhao Yuxiao didn't bother to argue with the emperor for the time being, because he and Chunhua were finally going to get married!
On the day of their wedding, the entire capital was bustling with activity.
Ten miles of red decorations, big red lanterns leading the way, and the sound of firecrackers never ending.
People on both sides of the road were watching, happily waiting for the groom to send someone to throw candy.
Ying Xixi sat in a big red sedan chair and was carried by sedan bearers around the inner city of the capital three times before stopping at the gate of the general's mansion.
According to custom, the groom has to kick the door of the sedan chair before lifting the curtain, and the bride has to step over a fire basin when entering the house, etc.
The meaning of these is mostly to show the bride’s power by the husband’s family, or to remove the bad luck from the bride.
Originally, Nanny Xi wanted to prepare these, but Zhao Yuxiao directly refused.
