"Yu Rou only wants to stay in Ningzhou and run the shop for you, my lady. She has no desire to set foot in the capital again. I hope you will grant her wish."
Qin Sheng simply sighed deeply and agreed.
The day before the wedding.
Emerald, Qiao'er, and Granny Yu, who was by Madam Qin's side, were all working hard to take stock of Qin Sheng's dowry.
Actually, these are all in booklets, but Madam Qin was afraid of making any mistakes, so she had someone count them one last time.
All the dowry items were finally confirmed.
Jade couldn't help but sigh, "With the dowry and betrothal gifts, it'll take at least three streets to walk around tomorrow."
The master and mistress didn't keep a single penny of the betrothal gifts given by the Regent; they added them all to the dowry, waiting to be sent to the Regent's residence together.
Qiao'er laughed and said, "That's really impressive! His Highness will marry our lady in a proper ceremony, so that everyone in the capital can see it and stop people from gossiping."
Inside the house.
Madam Qin was talking to Qin Sheng.
"Once you get married, you will be the Regent's Consort. In public, your every word and action represents His Highness and the royal family."
Qin Sheng nodded, "Daughter understands."
"besides---"
Although it was the second time, Madam Qin still treated it as if it were her daughter's first wedding and gave her a beautifully illustrated booklet.
"This...you should take a good look at it too."
"..."
This book is even more exquisite than the one my mother gave me when I got married for the first time. The illustrations are all in color, and there are annotations next to them.
Although it wasn't the first time she'd seen it, Qin Sheng felt even more embarrassed this time than before, for some reason.
Perhaps it's because she was reborn in time for this life, and hasn't yet consummated her marriage with Yin Wenxiao?
This is something we still need to learn, right?
"Don't be shy." Madam Qin handed the booklet to her daughter and whispered, "Take a good look at it; it will be beneficial to you."
Qin Sheng responded softly, "Oh."
Madam Qin looked at her daughter's beautiful face again, and felt very emotional. "From now on... you must take good care of yourself."
"Mother, I will."
Qin Sheng couldn't help but snuggle gently into her mother's arms. After a moment, she remembered something, "I heard that the fourth daughter of the Marquis of Wuping's mansion is also getting married?"
Madam Qin nodded, "Yes, Xu is a scholar. I heard that he has no parents. He will be the head of the household after he marries into the family."
The details of what happened at the garden party that day were too specific for Madam Qin to know.
Qin Sheng didn't care.
To her, Wu Jin'er was nothing more than an arrogant and spoiled young lady from a noble family. She had tried to harm her, and she had already retaliated.
She didn't care about anything else.
The mother and daughter talked for a long time, and when Madam Qin left, her eyes were red and swollen.
That night, no one in the Qin household was destined to sleep peacefully.
Qin Sheng lay stiffly on the bed for an unknown amount of time, her mind a jumble of thoughts.
Finally, unable to resist the drowsiness, I yawned and fell asleep.
However, it felt like he hadn't slept for long before Qin Sheng was woken up by Emerald while still half asleep.
"Hmm---" Qin Sheng mumbled, rubbing her eyes as she sat up, yawning as she asked, "Is everyone outside already busy?"
"Of course not."
Jade smiled and brought in a bowl of steamed egg custard. "My lady, hurry up and have some breakfast. You'll be busy all day."
Qin Sheng nodded, got up, dressed, and washed up.
She had just finished eating a bowl of steamed egg custard when Granny Yu arrived with several maids and servants.
Qin Sheng needs to change into her wedding dress and have her makeup done.
Before long, the sisters and younger wives from the Qin family's neighborhood also arrived and came in to watch the excitement.
Changing into her wedding dress, applying makeup, and combing her hair.
Everything was the same as when she first got married, the only difference being Qin Sheng's state of mind.
This time, she was filled with joy and anticipation as she got married.
After sitting for about half an hour, a maid came in to report that the wedding procession had arrived, but was being 'made difficult' by the general in the front yard.
It's obvious that Qin Yu, having failed to 'make things difficult' for his brother-in-law the first time, wouldn't let this opportunity pass him by this time.
A girl from the Qin family laughed, "Oh dear, what could my eldest brother possibly do to make things difficult for him? He wouldn't possibly grab His Highness and start a fight, would he?"
"Today is Sixth Sister's big day, how could I, the eldest brother, dare to do this?"
"How about we go take a look?"
"Let's go, let's go!"
Several of the younger children ran off to watch the excitement.
Qin Sheng was also a little curious, but soon after, people outside said that the general had lost.
The matchmaker called out with a smile, "The auspicious time has arrived, let's go!"
They still had to go ahead to say goodbye to their parents.
Once the bright red veil was placed over her head, Qin Sheng was helped up by Emerald and Qiao'er on either side and led outside.
In the main hall.
Covered by a red veil, Qin Sheng couldn't see anything; everything was guided by the matchmaker, with Emerald supporting her arm.
They bid farewell to their parents one by one.
Madam Qin forced herself not to cry, and held her daughter's hand, whispering a few words of advice.
"My daughter knows," Qin Sheng replied, her heart also filled with deep reluctance.
My parents have always been my biggest support. No matter what happens, they always stand behind me unconditionally.
How fortunate I am to be their daughter.
"My dear," Madam Qin gently patted her daughter's hand one last time, "Go on."
Qin Sheng nodded, and finally Qin Yu carried her out the door and onto the bridal sedan chair outside.
"Ah Sheng." Before getting into the bridal sedan chair, Yue Rongheng suddenly gently squeezed Qin Sheng's fingers.
Although his face was covered by a red veil, making it impossible to see his expression, Qin Sheng knew he was definitely happy.
"What's wrong?" Qin Sheng asked in a low voice.
His voice carried an undisguised smile, his gaze casually sweeping over the crowd of onlookers outside. "It's nothing."
"..."
Qin Sheng entered the bridal sedan chair.
I don't know if it was Yue Rongheng's order, but there was a soft cushion embroidered with mimosa flowers under the seat, making it soft and comfortable to sit on.
It was bustling outside, with crowds of onlookers practically blocking both sides of the road.
Qin Sheng didn't know how long she had been sitting, but she got hungry.
Qin Sheng ate a bowl of steamed egg custard in the morning, but now she doesn't know how much time has passed. She's feeling a bit uncomfortable sitting down, and her stomach is rumbling.
A hand suddenly reached in, accompanied by Jade's voice, "Your Highness, His Highness asked me to bring this to you."
"..."
Qin Sheng lifted the veil slightly and quickly took the things from Jade's hand.
It was a package wrapped in oil paper. When I opened it, I found several peach blossom cakes inside.
This person...
Qin Sheng couldn't help but laugh, thinking to herself, "Is he a mind reader? He even knows when I'm hungry."
After the peach blossom cakes were finished, the bridal sedan chair outside also stopped.
Qin Sheng quickly sat up straight, waiting for the matchmaker to help her out of the sedan chair.
