Chapter 285 Marriage
Lu Jing opened her notebook with great interest and found that it was full of love stories. He remembered that when Su Qingwan went to Beijing, she liked to write miscellaneous notes about the customs, culture and human nature of various places. Now, there are a lot of love books, and they are written quite explicitly.
"These scholars are quite bold. They even dare to make up stories about the eldest princess."
“No one is named, but freedom of creation should be allowed.”
"Do you like to watch?"
Su Qingwan was speechless. She had not read the Princess's storybooks. She had no choice. It was easy to imagine the Princess's face and affect her body feeling. These storybooks were bought by Qingyun to kill time. She originally only read the miscellaneous notes. Qingyun once laughed so hard while reading them that Su Qingwan became interested. Once she read them, she could not stop. Recently, she has been reading them all. Except for the Princess's book, she has basically finished reading them all.
The weather is so cold, and it would be terrible if she had nothing to do at home except playing. These storybooks helped her kill a lot of time, but now that Lu Jing knew she was reading them, she felt a little embarrassed.
"Some of the books are well written." Su Qingwan was also bold and admitted that she liked to read them.
I thought Lu Jing would tease her, but Lu Jing said, "I'll find a few students to write for you later. What kind of stories do you like to read? Do you have any preference?"
Su Qingwan, "..."
"It's not hard to write a storybook. Just pay some money. Most of them are written by failed scholars to make a living. This is a good way to make a living for them."
"That's fine too!" Su Qingwan was a little curious about how far Lu Jing would go without any bottom line. "I don't have any preference, as long as it's written in a moving and moving way."
"Do you like heart-wrenching love stories?"
"Who likes a story as plain as water?" Su Qingwan didn't understand. When reading storybooks, she was looking for the heart-wrenching emotions in the book.
Lu Jing seemed to be thinking about something.
Qingyun was prudent and capable, and he quickly placed the pot in the dining room. Su Qingwan and Lu Jing went over to eat, and they were very quiet during the meal.
In cold weather, pots are the warmest way to keep food warm. Food can be eaten after being boiled. This is a popular way of eating in Huainan, but not in Beijing, where people prefer steaming and baking. Lu Jing gradually got used to this food culture after following Su Qingwan, and he actually liked it. The ingredients were fresh and he enjoyed the food.
The national mourning period is about to end, and their marriage should be put on the agenda. There is still a war on the border, and although there are reports of victory, the situation is still unstable. Su Qingwan does not want to make it too ostentatious.
Lu Jing said, "Xiao Wu, let me make the decision on your marriage, okay?"
He could understand Su Qingwan's thoughts and didn't want to be too ostentatious, but he wanted to give Su Qingwan a romantic and grand wedding, with a ten-mile long red wedding dress and everything that others should have.
Xiaowu's life is full of regrets.
Her parents and relatives had all died, and she had no brothers to send her off in marriage. She could not even get married at home, so she had no choice but to be held hostage in the capital. Although the title of Princess Huainan was important, many officials and prominent families were watching the show.
They all felt that if the King of Huainan could not rule, the princess would have no dignity, and Su Qingwan's honor and disgrace for the rest of her life would depend on him. He did not want others to look down on Su Qingwan, and he also wanted to tell the world that this was the woman he had spent so much effort to marry. Although it was a political marriage, it was a marriage he had asked for.
He could not make up for Su Qingwan's lack of kinship, but he could compensate her with a grand wedding. Even if she didn't care about other people's opinions, he wanted Su Qingwan to become an enviable woman in the capital.
"It's up to you. Let's get married after Lu Feng, right?" Su Qingwan asked. She didn't insist. It would be easier for her to let Lu Jing prepare the wedding. She wouldn't have to worry so much. She only needed to worry about the wedding dress. Ever since she decided to marry Lu Jing, she had been slowly preparing for the wedding dress and had almost finished embroidering it.
"Yes, my brother is getting married in late March."
"What about us?"
"I want to set it in April, what do you think?"
"Whatever!" Su Qingwan didn't care. The atmosphere fell silent. She suddenly raised her eyes and glanced at Lu Jing. She clearly noticed Lu Jing's disappointment. Su Qingwan seriously reflected on herself. Was her attitude too perfunctory?
In fact, Lu Jing didn't tell her that he was injured, so she had no right to be angry. It was because she didn't do her job well enough and couldn't give Lu Jing the confidence, so he would rather hide it from her.
He didn't even know that if he told her about his injury, she would come back to see him or stay on the farm to have fun, so he simply kept it a secret from her and didn't make any attempts.
Now, the marriage is so perfunctory, Lu Jing will be sad.
She promised the marriage, and even though it was forced, she got what she wanted. She shouldn't be immersed in her own emotions. Even if it was just acting, she had to play the role of a loving couple with Lu Jing.
Any relationship needs to be managed. Apart from your parents, whose blood is thicker than water, who will unconditionally like you, love you, cherish you, and tolerate you no matter what you do?
No matter how much Lu Jing likes her, if she continues to be cold and perfunctory, his enthusiasm will fade.
Su Qingwan asked, "Have you ever compared your horoscopes?"
"Yes, there will be a good day in April."
"Then let's set it in April. I have a small request."
Lu Jing's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "You say."
"I want to marry in Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion, is that okay?" Su Qingwan said, "Almost all of my blood relatives are gone, and the Marquis's wife is the only relative of mine in the capital. She wants to marry me off, and hopes that I can marry in the Marquis' Mansion, and that someone will see me off."
"Okay!" Lu Jing wanted more than anything else. "What other requests do you have? Tell me one by one, and I will satisfy you."
"I want to invite my father's old subordinates to attend my wedding."
"Okay!" Lu Jing said, "Draw up a list for me and I'll make the arrangements."
"You are the regent. If you have too close contacts with military generals, the clan will put pressure on you. If it seems very reluctant, I won't force it." Su Qingwan sensitively realized that Lu Jing was expecting her to make a request, and he would be happy no matter how tricky it was.
"The marriage between the Regent and Huainan is free of taboos. These civil servants are not so ignorant. The Princess is also happy to see it happen. With her in charge, nothing can go wrong." Lu Jing became happier as he spoke. "Any other requests?"
Su Qingwan thought about it carefully and really didn't have any requirements. She had no hope for marriage and naturally didn't have any demands. Lu Jing was very efficient and she felt that she had nothing to worry about.
"Okay, I will definitely arrange our wedding." Lu Jing was looking forward to the wedding. He wished that Lu Feng would get married tomorrow, and soon it would be his and Su Qingwan's turn.
The closer it got to the wedding date, the more nervous Su Qingwan inexplicably felt. Especially after the national mourning period, when the Lu family began to arrange the wedding of Lu Feng and Miss Ding, she became even more nervous.
Half a month after Lu Feng’s wedding, it would be her and Lu Jing’s turn.
She never had any sense of reality about marriage, always felt it was very far away. Marrying Lu Jing seemed like an agreement. Lu Jing would not stay in the villa and always maintained a gentlemanly demeanor. She did not have much sense of reality about this marriage. She never thought that she would actually get married.
It is spring and flowers are blooming in the capital. After the national mourning period, each family begins to prepare for weddings. Many clan members have been delayed for a year due to the national mourning period, so they all start preparing for their weddings in the spring. The capital is full of joy.
Su Qingwan was also infected by this atmosphere and gradually showed some joy.
