Chapter 81 I think we should get married soon
When will you get married?
That’s a good question.
Jiang Cinian and Cui Si looked at each other.
Jiang Ci Nian said, "There's no rush for this matter. We still need to prepare the betrothal gifts. If we calculate carefully, it might take until next spring."
Nowadays, people pay the most attention to etiquette, and when getting married, they also follow the three books and six rituals.
The three letters are the engagement letter, the gift letter, and the welcoming letter.
The six rites are adoption, asking for the name, accepting the good news, accepting the betrothal gifts, asking for the date, and welcoming the bride.
But he and Cui Si have only taken the first step, which is to adopt the six rituals.
That is: prepare gifts, ask a matchmaker to propose marriage, and the other party agrees.
The next step is to ask for the name and get the engagement letter, and then match the horoscopes. After the horoscopes are matched and there is no conflict, the two families will be considered to have officially decided on the marriage, and then prepare the betrothal gifts and the grand gift (Nazheng).
The process is complicated and requires a lot of time, effort and money, but only in this way can the bride be brought home.
Jiang Cinian felt that since they were going to get married, they couldn't rush into it.
Although he couldn't give her anything particularly outstanding, he still had to make sure the bride looked decent and well-prepared to avoid being laughed at by others.
"If you are free at that time, please come to the wedding for the banquet." Jiang Cinian invited politely.
"Okay." Old Madam Yan agreed, not knowing whether she was speaking sincerely or not.
After everyone sat in the house drinking tea and chatting for a while, Cui Si pulled Jiang Cinian to the corridor outside to talk for a few words.
"Mr. Jiang, I think we should get married soon."
Jiang Ci Nian paused, his handsome and gentle face slightly frowned: "Why?"
"I feel a little uneasy."
Cui Si didn't dare to say that it would be scary if Yan Xingchuan went crazy.
Moreover, she had made it so clear to him last time and told him not to meet again, but he still didn't give up. She always had a premonition that he would come to Xianyang City soon.
If he really wanted to marry her by force, Cui would be unable to stop him.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Cinian frowned slightly, "Is it because of me? Sixth Lady, please rest assured. Since I promised you something, I will not regret it."
“Moreover, marriage is the most important matter in life, and it would be inappropriate to rush into it.
Although I am not as good as other noble families and cannot make you as glorious as they are, I cannot let you suffer any injustice and let others laugh at you."
This is how he is as a person, always sincere and genuine, trying his best to get things done.
Cui Si also knew that he had bought a shop not long ago and planned to run a pharmacy.
Occasionally, he would diagnose and prescribe medicine for people, and he even made some ointments for women to use for beauty and hair care, intending to sell some of them in the future.
As he himself said, he may not be able to give his wife a life of wealth and luxury, but he will never let his wife support the family, and he also hopes to earn some money for her life.
The young man is handsome and gentle, and his heart is so clean and pure, like a spring seedling that quietly emerges from the soil in spring and climbs to the top of people's hearts.
Cui Si felt emotional and complicated for a moment, and even felt guilty for not letting him down.
You have to know that the feeling of guilt she has in her past life and this life combined is not much.
The only one who felt guilty was Old Mrs. Xu.
The wind blew, and the peonies in the yard swayed in the wind.
A strand of hair on her temple fluttered in the wind. She reached out and stroked it, then said:
"If I can, I naturally don't want to put myself in a difficult position.
Sometimes, things have their priorities, etiquette is important, and face is important, but nothing compares to the peaceful days ahead."
"Mr. Jiang, I always have a feeling that if we don't get married soon, we might not be able to get married at all."
While Yan Xingchuan is feeling guilty and is forced to leave by her words, he has to let her go and kiss her first.
Otherwise, if he becomes stubborn, no one can pull him back.
If it were someone else, who had betrayed her in the previous life and dared to pester her in this life, she would probably find a way to send him to hell and put an end to it all.
Anyone who dares to block my way should be prepared to die.
But Yan Xingchuan cannot die, at least not now.
Jiang Ci Nian thought about it, and frowned as he remembered something: "Is it because... because of the King of Northern Yan?"
Old Lady Xu ordered Jiang Ci Nian to come over and said that Yan Xingchuan wanted to marry Cui Si, but because Cui Si was already engaged, neither the Cui family nor Cui Si agreed, so she had to give up.
The original intention was to hope that Jiang Cinian would attach importance to this marriage, and also know the attitudes of the Cui family and Cui Si, so that he could be better to Cui Si after they got married in the future.
Therefore, Jiang Cinian knew about the incident involving Yan Xingchuan.
"If Lady Six wants to be queen and marry the King of Northern Yan..."
"I don't want to marry him." Cui Si quickly stopped him from saying,
"You don't have to think about it. If I wanted to be queen, or wanted to marry him, I would have made it clear to you back then. I wouldn't have argued with you any further."
Although she may not have much romantic feelings for Jiang Cinian, she really likes the feeling of being with him, and their time together is peaceful and long-lasting.
She liked the fact that both of them were talkative, so they could talk about things and do things as they pleased without having to guess.
Jiang Ci Nian nodded upon hearing this, indicating that he understood: "Since Sixth Lady wants to get married soon, I will quickly get things done."
"I'll wait for you at Cui's house."
After agreeing on this matter, Cui Si breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little more at ease.
"Please bear with my grandmother and maternal grandmother's attitude. They just want me to be well and hope that you can treat me well."
"Sixth Lady, you're worrying too much. I don't take it to heart, and you don't have to take it to heart either.
If my master comes looking for me someday, I will treat him like a father. Don't be bothered by his nagging like a child.
"Of course not." Cui Si laughed, "Then we will bear with each other and understand each other."
"good."
The two had just finished talking and were about to go back to the house to find Old Madam Yan, but they saw that the sun was getting a little dim and the wind seemed to be a little cooler.
Jiang Cinian walked into the yard and looked at the sky, only to see dark clouds spreading from the east. A strong wind blew through the courtyard, and the peony branches swayed.
It's going to rain.
"Sixth Lady, go talk to Old Madam Yan first. I'll be back soon."
After Jiang Cinian said this, he hurried away.
Seeing this, Cui Si called Yanzhi and Songlu and followed them.
When he saw no one halfway, he stopped a servant who was walking hurriedly and asked him.
"Mrs. Cui, are you looking for Mr. Cui? It's going to rain, and Mr. Cui is harvesting herbs in the garden!"
After hearing this, Cui Si let him lead the way and followed him to the garden.
Jiang Cinian had a lot of medicinal herbs, so many that he couldn't dry them all in the courtyard, and the garden was also full of them.
When Cui Si arrived, Jiang Cinian and the servants were quickly sorting the dried medicinal herbs and putting them into baskets.
There are more dark clouds in the sky and the wind is stronger.
Cui Si paused for a moment, rolled up her sleeves and tucked them into her cuffs, then stepped forward to help.
"You two should help collect it quickly."
