Wang Yuwan was stunned and asked softly, "But isn't Xiaoliu only fourteen? Why are you so anxious?"
Wang Yuwan didn’t know the current situation of the Qiu family yet, and Qiu’s mother told them later.
"Did you see that young man? It must be him." Hu Meixiang looked for Chu Hongyun and found him. She asked Wang Yuwan to look through the window.
Although she was not sure about the other party's identity, Xiaoliu was now the county lord, so the man must have a high status.
"He's quite a handsome man. I think I've seen him before. He came to my house to make a reservation."
"Yeah, you've been to my house too." The two smiled at each other.
Mother Qiu heard it, but she was not angry at the two mothers-in-law talking in a low voice. It was not a bad thing.
"Everyone, you're welcome. Thank you all for coming to celebrate the housewarming for us. Enjoy the food and drinks."
"We're not polite." They were all Murakami's women and family members, so there was no restraint.
After dinner, the women in the village spontaneously helped to clean up and wash the dishes.
Mother Qiu took the two mothers-in-law to find her own mother-in-law. After they sat down and had tea, Mother Qiu said to the two in-laws, "I have something to tell you today."
Fan Jingui quickly put down the tea bowl and looked at Mother Qiu. Mother Qiu looked at Father Qiu. Father Qiu waved his hand and said with a smile, "Let me tell you."
"Not long ago, we found our long-lost relatives and learned that my second brother is now an official in the capital."
"My daughter was recently admitted into the imperial family tree, and acknowledged Empress Zhaohe as her adoptive mother. She also happened to save the Empress Dowager, and was granted the title of Princess of Changping County by the Emperor."
"Wen County is now Yi'er's fiefdom. At the same time, the Emperor has bestowed upon my wife the title of Fifth Rank."
Fan Jingui's jaw almost dropped to the ground, and he stammered, "My dear, when did this happen?"
Now, do you want to cancel the engagement?
Fan Jingui instantly became nervous, and Father Qiu saw it at a glance. He quickly responded to avoid misunderstanding: "Before the fourth child got engaged."
As soon as these words were spoken, Fan Jingui felt reassured.
The in-laws explained it this way because they were afraid that he would worry. If the Qiu family intended to cancel the engagement, they would not have made the decision in the first place.
Oh my God, what good luck did his daughter have? The county lady personally accompanied her to make the betrothal. What a great honor this is.
Fan Jingui became excited instantly, and Fan Yurou was also dumbfounded. She secretly glanced at Qiu Hanli and saw him smiling at her foolishly.
A smile instantly appeared in her eyes. This silly girl was very happy that she had found such a good marriage.
"But the fact that Yi'er is the county lady should not be leaked for now. It's enough for our family to know about it."
"Besides that, the eldest brother is getting married on June 30th. Don't forget to come over for a drink at the wedding."
Father Qiu smiled at Fan Jingui, who nodded quickly, "Of course, of course. We can't be left out of this kind of thing."
"Also, Yi'er suggested that the soap business in Anping Town be handed over to my in-laws. Do you have any ideas?"
"Oh, this is good." Fan Jingui became even happier when he heard it.
Qiu Yinong took out the contract, and Fan Jingui looked at it and confirmed that there was no problem. He signed and sealed it, and then prepared a batch of goods for Fan Jingui to take back that day.
The porcelain business was handed over to the Mo family. After seeing the porcelain made in Taohua Village, Mo Shibo couldn't stop praising it.
“Isn’t this pattern so beautiful?”
Qiu Yinong looked at the porcelain in Mo Shibo's hand and said with a smile, "This is blue and white porcelain."
"Blue and white porcelain, good, good, it fits, it fits, it really looks great."
"This is glazed porcelain, mainly with bright colors."
Hearing the praise from Mo Shibo and his party, Uncle Gai Sheng, who was in charge of the porcelain kiln, smiled happily.
…
On the evening of June 29th, the Qiu family mansion was filled with joy and decorated with lights and colorful lanterns.
The servants and villagers all gathered at the Qiu family to help organize the betrothal gifts and items needed for the wedding.
"Be careful, just put the wedding character on, slowly." Aunt Tao carefully instructed Chunhua.
Chunhua was very nervous, afraid that she would accidentally scatter the pile of peanuts.
After putting it on, she took several steps back before she dared to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Mom, please stop looking at me. It makes me nervous. I almost put my hand in the wrong place."
Chunhua looked at her mother with dissatisfaction. Aunt Tao touched her nose and felt a little embarrassed.
"Okay, Mom will help you make the bed. You have to be careful." Aunt Tao said again before leaving.
Chunhua waved her hand quickly, and after Aunt Tao left, she looked nervously at the red dates, longans, and lotus seeds.
He took a deep breath, walked over carefully, and placed the wedding characters one by one.
Only after it was put away did I dare to breathe.
Qiu Yinong came in and saw this scene, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Is there any need to be so nervous?"
"It's my mother who made me nervous." Chunhua rolled her eyes speechlessly.
Qiu Yinong walked over with a smile and poked the red dates. Chunhua was very anxious, but before she could scream, she saw that the red dates did not move at all.
"Huh? What's going on?" Chunhua was very curious.
Qiu Yinong smiled and said, "I used a little secret recipe."
Of course it was the work of the small system. Chunhua poked it out of curiosity and was relieved to see that there was really nothing wrong.
"Yier is here." The maids who were making the beds saw Qiu Yinong coming and greeted her one after another.
The Qiu family did not think it was inappropriate to let Yier, a girl, sleep under them.
I would like to ask you, in this world, is there any other peasant girl who has received the royal favor and been granted the title of county lady, or a county lady with a fiefdom?
With such a noble status, even if a man is the one who gives birth to a boy, it would be difficult for him to achieve such an achievement.
Besides, who says that a woman can’t give birth to a boy if she presses the bed?
"It's already been laid. Yi'er, you should go to bed early. The aunts will go back first."
"Thank you all for your hard work today. This is the wedding money. I will trouble you to come and help tomorrow."
"Hey, Xiaoliu, why are you so polite? Don't worry, we will come early to help you tomorrow." After receiving the wedding money, the old women left happily.
After everyone left, Qing Yuan also went forward to help Qiu Yinong go to sleep.
Qiu Hansheng will sleep in the third brother's room today, and Qiu Yinong will sleep in his yard.
After a good night's sleep, Qiu Yinong was woken up by the sound of suona early in the morning.
In Da Chu, weddings are held in the morning when the bride goes to her home, and drinks are held at the bride's home at noon. Those who are far away depart at noon or afternoon, while those who are close depart in the evening and arrive at the groom's home in the evening.
The banquet at the groom's house also starts at noon. After the groom arrives home, he will toast everyone and then go back to his room to rest.
Qiu Yinong changed into the new clothes that her mother made for her, and then went straight to find her eldest brother. Her grandmother had already combed her eldest brother's hair.
Qiu Hansheng was wearing the wedding dress prepared by Qiu Yinong. When he saw Qiu Yinong come in, he smiled at her and turned around.
"How is it, sister?" Qiu Hansheng was still a little nervous.
"He is so handsome, such a graceful and elegant young man." Qiu Yinong praised him generously.
