Chapter 119: Marry the One Who Is as Noble as a God
Someone shouted and everyone started gathering outside the door.
The festive sounds of gongs and drums were getting closer and closer. As everyone was looking forward to it, the matchmaker selected by the Ministry of Rites walked in from the gate of Yong'an Marquis Mansion with the betrothal team.
Box after box, the line stretched all the way to the entrance of the alley.
"How many things have been prepared? This isn't just a betrothal gift, it's a wedding."
"If you don't know, you might think he's marrying a queen."
"Prince Yong is madly in love with Miss Su. I'm afraid he wants to move all the good things in the palace to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion."
"I don't know what a betrothal beast is. I haven't seen one."
As soon as the word "marrying beast" was mentioned, everyone started looking for it.
When the Great Zhao offered marriage proposals, the most interesting thing was the betrothal beast.
In ancient times, wild geese, which only breed in pairs, were used as betrothal animals. However, wild geese were difficult to hunt, and wooden geese were mostly used by common people. Rich families thought they were not polite enough, so later people used animals instead.
The betrothal animal must be hunted by the man himself to show his sincerity.
The species, scarcity, and meaning behind the betrothal beast all represent whether the man values the woman.
If the hired beast is not good enough, the woman will lose face today.
Marquis Yong'an was also anxious to find the whereabouts of the hired beast.
Because he knew that it was already past autumn, most animals had either migrated south or hibernated, and hunters had begun to put away their bows, so it was not easy to hunt a good animal.
Now that Su Rui and the Yong'an Marquisate are tied together again, her future can only rely on Yun Ji temporarily. If Yun Ji's hired beast today is not good and it loses face for the Yong'an Marquisate, it will be more than just being ridiculed.
"Is it the one covered with red cloth?" Someone pointed to the huge object covered with red cloth placed in the center of the betrothal gifts in the yard.
"Yeah, I think I see some hairy feet in there."
"Where can I find something furry now, a dog? A cat?"
Just as everyone was speculating, the matchmaker handed the gift book to the Marquis of Yong'an and said, "My Lord, this is the gift list from our Prince Yong's Mansion for the betrothal. Please take a look and examine it one by one."
Marquis Yong'an immediately took it and opened it, and first went to look for the column for hiring beasts.
When he saw what it was, his eyes and eyebrows were immediately filled with joy.
Before Liang could get a clear look, Marquis Yong'an closed the gift book and walked quickly towards the thing covered with red cloth.
She pulled the corner of the red cloth and pulled it down hard, unable to hide her smile.
The red cloth fell, revealing the contents inside, causing everyone inside and outside to gasp.
"Wolf!"
"It's the Snow Wolf!"
"Still a pair!"
The sounds of surprise came one after another, almost blowing the roof off the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
After hearing these exclamations, the bad temper that had been pent up for the whole day finally came out of Yong'an Hou.
Su Ye was also happy and kept looking at the cage. He couldn't understand where Yun Ji got these two snow wolves, and they were both alive.
A flash of jealousy appeared in Liang's eyes, but she quickly concealed it and smiled apologetically.
Only Zhou Yao, who was standing in the corner, was so angry that her whole face turned red, and she punched the tree trunk hard.
She hates it!
Su Rui was just a lowly slave, but Yun Ji valued her so much that he sent her such a valuable betrothal beast.
As for her, not only did Prince Long's Mansion send her a bunch of junk, but Chen Youmin also castrated himself and became a eunuch.
She had originally thought of going to Prince Long's Mansion. Although Changning would torture her, Chen Youmin had returned to Beijing after all. If she seduced him, he would definitely protect her.
But he has become a eunuch, so what's the point of seducing him?
I will be a widow all my life!
Fortunately, Su Rui couldn't be discharged from the hospital today, otherwise she would be even more angry if she saw her smug face again.
What Zhou Yao didn't know was that Su Rui from Chaoyang Courtyard had already received the real betrothal gift.
Black Bodhisattva jumped in from outside the wall, holding something in his mouth. He walked towards Su Rui who was moving the seedlings into the pot and scratched her leg with his claws.
Su Rui turned her head, saw it, and then saw what it was holding in its mouth, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
As he reached out to take it, he couldn't help but complain, "He dared to let you bring this thing in so openly. Aren't you afraid it will fall to the ground and break."
After wiping the Black Bodhisattva's saliva with a handkerchief, Su Rui put the thing on her wrist.
The size is just right.
She raised her hand to the sunlight, and the jade bracelet emitted a faint red light, as bright and dazzling as blood, just like her.
Fortunately, Yun Ji was able to find this blood jade and make it into a bracelet in such a short time.
This is an engagement gift.
Originally, after a man and a woman got married, they would give each other a token of love, and in Da Zhao, it was usually a jade bracelet.
The material represents how much you value the other person.
She did not have the etiquette of Naji, so there was no need for her to give him a token of love. In addition, Yun Ji had already given her his jade pendant. Su Rui thought that was the token of love, but now he gave her this blood jade, which meant that it was the token of love.
At this moment, the token of love belongs to both parties, and she has to get it back.
But she had nothing but money.
It's really troublesome for a dog man to follow the rules.
Although complaining in her heart, Su Rui still went back to her room and took Yun Ji's jade pendant, wrapped it with red thread, tied a heart knot on it, and handed it to Black Bodhisattva.
But the Black Bodhisattva didn't bite it. Instead, he sat on the ground with his buttocks collapsed, staring at her with his big round eyes.
Knowing it was asking for food, Su Rui shook her head and refused: "Your injuries haven't healed yet. The spices are too irritating for you right now. You can't eat them."
The Black Bodhisattva turned his head.
Don’t listen, don’t listen. This cat king will eat you today.
"How about I give you ten days' rest after your injury is fully healed?" Su Rui handed the thing forward.
The Black Bodhisattva still didn't bite, but turned around and stared at Su Rui with resentment.
It seems to be saying, this cat king risked his life to get help for you, and this is how you treat this cat king?
Su Rui felt guilty about it and compromised again. "The 15th."
Black Bodhisattva rolled his eyes.
"One month, no more."
After considering for a moment, Black Bodhisattva decided to quit while he was ahead. He bit the jade pendant from Su Rui's hand, turned around and jumped out nimbly.
As soon as Black Bodhisattva left, Luo'e and Xiaoru walked in from the courtyard gate with smiles on their faces, each carrying a box.
"Miss Su! No! Miss, Miss, the wedding dress has been delivered. It's so beautiful." Xiaoru shouted as she walked, her loud voice sounding particularly festive.
Xiaoru is from Fozhuang, and the others are working in Prince Yong's mansion. Luo'e is not enough to be by Su Rui's side, so he picked Xiaoru, the youngest among them except Ruirui.
This girl is outgoing and has a loud voice, just like a lark, chirping all the time, but she doesn't annoy people, instead it adds a bit of liveliness to the scene.
Now, after she shouted like that, and then opened the box and took out the red wedding dress embroidered with a phoenix, Su Rui really felt like she was getting married.
In this life, she is actually going to get married.
Marry the man on the top of the snow-capped mountain, who is as noble as a god.
