Qin Xiangyang looked at Pei Zhi and gave her a bright smile.
Hmm, he's kind of like the foolish son of a landlord.
He seems quite naive and easily fooled, not like a cunning person.
The old woman cut a lock of their hair and tied it together.
Then, surrounded by onlookers, they drank the nuptial wine together before everyone dispersed.
Once Pei Zhi and Qin Xiangyang were the only two people left in the room, Pei Zhi bent down slightly.
Her head was adorned with a head full of pearl hairpins, and her wedding dress was extremely heavy.
"Princess, don't panic. I'll help you remove the hairpin."
Thank you.
Qin Xiangyang walked behind Pei Zhi and carefully removed Pei Zhi's hairpins one by one, finally removing her several-pound headdress.
With her hair down, Pei Zhi immediately felt much more relaxed.
"I have heard that the princess is a master painter, but I am completely ignorant of painting. It would be an insult for the princess to marry me."
Pei Zhi combed her black hair. "What are your usual hobbies?"
Qin Xiangyang looked up and smiled, "I love making money and counting silver in my spare time."
Pei Zhi nodded slightly, "The Qin family is wealthy and should have countless amounts of silver."
Qin Xiangyang's smile was somewhat stiff. After thinking for a moment, Qin Xiangyang knelt at Pei Zhi's feet.
"The Qin family has a family rule that no member of the Qin family may set foot in the imperial court. The same applies to my children with the princess in the future."
Pei Zhi raised an eyebrow: "Why are you telling me all this?"
"It's better to say the unpleasant things upfront."
Pei Zhi understood Qin Xiangyang's meaning; he was simply saying that her future children would not be allowed to serve as officials in the imperial court.
That's ridiculous. Who said she could have a baby?
In these worlds, she will not bear a child for any man.
Because no man is worth Pei Zhi risking her life to give birth to her child.
"Since that's the case, I also have something to say."
"I have never intended to have children in my life."
Pei Zhi added, "Of course, if you want children, in a few years, I will allow you to take concubines and let them bear you children."
Pei Zhi was not such a selfish person.
She herself did not want to have children, nor did she intend to make Qin Xiangyang childless.
If Qin Xiangyang wants children, he can find other women to have them with, and Pei Zhi doesn't care how many he has.
Qin Xiangyang only wanted to explain the Qin family's situation to the princess, but he thought he would be reprimanded by her.
To his surprise, the princess surprised him even more.
Is a woman really planning to never have children for the rest of her life?
"I also think that children are noisy, cost a lot of money, and I don't like children."
Qin Xiangyang and Pei Zhi exchanged a glance. Qin Xiangyang stood up and asked, "Shall I assist the princess with her toilette?"
Pei Zhi placed her hand on Qin Xiangyang's palm, and Qin Xiangyang helped Pei Zhi into the bath room.
Next, of course, comes the wedding night.
During the process, Qin Xiangyang was a bit like a clueless young man, somewhat disorganized and unsure of what to do.
Qin Xiangyang was sweating profusely with anxiety, and having no other choice, Pei Zhi could only teach and guide him.
Pei Zhi only learned the next morning that Qin Xiangyang did not have any concubines.
This was beyond Pei Zhi's expectations.
Pei Zhi assumed that the Qin family, being in business, didn't have many rules.
Qin Xiangyang should have several women serving him.
After asking, Pei Zhi learned the reason and was both amused and exasperated.
Qin Xiangyang believed that having an additional concubine would mean an extra expense.
The monthly wages for concubines and maids are different, and Qin Xiangyang was reluctant to spend that amount.
Anyway, he will get married in the future, so why should he spend more money now?
Chunhua helped Pei Zhi wash up and change into a bright red dress.
Qin Xiangyang accompanied Pei Zhi as they walked towards the main hall.
Most of the Qin family members were already waiting in the main hall to pay their respects to Pei Zhi.
Pei Zhi took her seat, and her parents-in-law led the Qin family members to kneel down and pay their respects to her.
Pei Zhi also stood up and bowed in return, giving a junior's greeting.
Pei Zhi sat at the head of the table, and her parents-in-law and Qin Xiangyang's uncles and aunts presented her with gifts.
It's either a rare jade bracelet or an exceptionally precious pearl.
Everything was a valuable and rare item.
Pei Zhi also had Chunhua distribute the gifts she had prepared for the younger generation.
In the Qin family, Pei Zhi is the ruler; everyone in the Qin family can be said to have the final say.
Chunhua originally thought that the princess's life would inevitably be difficult after marriage.
But after last night, the spring flowers are already smiling today.
Chunhua returned to the courtyard with Pei Zhi, while Qin Xiangyang and the entire Qin family went to the ancestral hall to pay respects to their ancestors.
Pei Zhi is a member of the royal family, so naturally she doesn't need to kneel and worship the Qin family's ancestors.
Pei Zhi took a sip of tea and relaxed her brow: "What good news is there so early in the morning that makes you smile so happily?"
"Princess, the Qin family thinks differently from what I thought."
"What's different?"
Chunhua sighed, "I thought the Qin family were all uncouth people who didn't know any manners."
The biggest difference between merchants and established families is that merchants don't have as many rules.
Chunhua was worried that the Qin family were all barbaric and greedy businessmen.
Once Chunhua entered the Qin family, she discovered that things were quite different.
The servants of the Qin family were all neatly dressed and extremely well-behaved.
It can't compare to those big families, but it's not inferior to those small, humble households.
"The Qin family is, after all, a royal merchant family, so their rules and etiquette are naturally quite good."
Chunhua sighed, "When we return to the princess's residence, the princess will be in charge of everything, inside and out."
