Xia Tian saw Ning Xue nodded, then glanced at the somewhat nervous Mu Feng and said with a smile, "Ning Xue agreed."
Mu Feng's heart finally settled down, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Xia Tian spoke again.
"But we have to go through the necessary ceremonies. We can't be careless." Xia Tian was secretly happy when he saw the two people's nervous expressions.
There are still more than twenty days before the Chinese New Year, so let's get engaged first and get married on a good day after the New Year.
Ningxiang and Ningxue are not young anymore, we can't delay any longer.
Ningxue has decided on the matter, and she also needs to ask Ningxiang and the others if they have anyone interested. If so, they can decide together and hold the wedding together.
The next day, Xia Tian took advantage of the presence of Shen Hui and Madam Xu to personally arrange the engagement for Mu Feng and Ning Xue.
"Ningxue, come and take a look. How about these as your dowry?"
Xia Tian moved some silk fabrics, gold and silver jewelry and other items from the private warehouse for her to choose from.
In addition, she asked Nanny Zhang to draw up a dowry list for Ningxue, and planned to take some items from her private storehouse, and ask people to buy some items from outside.
There are a lot of cloths in the private warehouse. Except for those awarded by nobles in the palace, which cannot be given to Ningxue and others, she can pick the rest that she likes.
"Everything is decided by Madam. How can a servant be picky?" Ningxue waved her hand quickly.
It was a great blessing from the lady that she could buy her a dowry, so how could she just follow her own will and have whatever she wanted?
"I can't make up my mind, so you pick the one you like." Xia Tian pulled Ning Xue closer and said, "Don't be embarrassed. Ning Xiang, Cui Yun, and Cui Ling will also have someone to marry."
Ningxue couldn't resist, and Ningxiang and the others felt a little embarrassed when they heard that they were also there.
But she soon urged Ningxue to pick quickly, "Good sister, please pick quickly. Madam has given us face. If you don't pick now, I will be embarrassed to choose when I get married in the future."
Cuiyun teased Ningxue quickly.
Ningxue blushed and gave Cuiyun a look, then she stopped being shy and started picking seriously.
Xia Tian wrote a list of the remaining things and asked Nanny Zhang to take people to buy them.
We are now in Linzhou, and we don’t know how many years we will stay here, so we haven’t bought them a house or anything like that.
Xia Tian took out one thousand two taels of silver notes and put them in her dowry as a safe.
Mu Feng was also quite busy, and Chen Nian couldn't do without him for many things, so he directly took the silver and asked Uncle Chen to buy it for him.
Chen Nian also gave Uncle Chen two thousand taels of silver notes and asked Mu Feng to pick out the best ones.
For a moment, Uncle Chen and Nanny Zhang had no time to care about anything else and were busy with Mu Feng and Ning Xue's affairs.
When he had some time, Xia Tian called Ningxiang, Cuiyun, and Cuiling over and said, "Do you three have someone you like? If so, just tell me so I can make the decision for you."
Ningxiang shook her head embarrassedly, while Cuiyun hesitated as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Cuiyun, do you have someone you like?" Xia Tian asked with raised eyebrows.
Cuiyun tugged at the handkerchief in her hand for a long time before saying, "Hmm!"
"Who is it?" the three asked in unison.
"Keep your voice down." Cuiyun said embarrassedly.
"Then tell me quickly!" the three urged.
"It's Lingchuan, the guard beside the prince." Cuiyun covered her face after saying this.
Ling Chuan was a guard who was promoted after Mu Yang's death and his return to the capital.
Although he took Mu Yang's place, he was not named in the same order as Mu Yang and the others.
However, Lingchuan is also a very masculine young man.
"Does Lingchuan know that you like him?" Xia Tian pulled Cuiyun's hand down from covering her face and asked.
This matter must be clarified. If she, like Ningxue, had fallen in love with Lingchuan in advance, then she could just go through the motions and help them get it settled.
Otherwise, I have to ask Lingchuan for his opinion.
Cuiyun shook her head, "You don't know?"
She wasn't sure about this, as she had only dealt with Ling Chuan a few times.
The reason why she had a good impression of Lingchuan was because she encountered an assassin on the way back from Guangfu Temple with her wife last time. When Lingchuan followed Shen Nian to rescue them, she was almost grabbed by the ankle by an injured assassin who fell to the ground. It was Lingchuan who saw her and pulled her up.
She was almost scared to death at that time!
It was also at that time that I developed a liking for Ling Chuan.
Xia Tian nodded and said, "Then I'll ask someone to sound out Ling Chuan first." Xia Tian also had an impression of Ling Chuan. If the two of them could succeed, it would be a good thing.
"Thank you, ma'am!" Cuiyun blushed and quickly thanked Xia Tian.
Cuiyun had a target, and she turned to look at Cuiling.
Cui Ling quickly shook her head like a rattle, "Madam, I won't get married. I want to study delicious food with you every day."
Xia Tian rolled his eyes at her and said, "Studying food with me doesn't conflict with you getting married!"
This girl is very cunning.
"Then I won't marry either!" Cui Ling waved her hands. She didn't want to leave the lady.
How can you have such a comfortable life after getting married?
"Okay, okay, just tell me when you've figured it out and want to get married, okay?" Xia Tian said helplessly.
The next day, she found a free time and went to Shen Nian's study.
"Brother Shen, where is Lingchuan?" Xia Tian didn't see Lingchuan when he went there, so he asked directly.
"Do you have something to talk to Ling Chuan about?" Shen Nian was writing something in the study. When he saw her come in, he put down his pen and walked over.
"Well, I want to ask him if there is a girl he likes." Xia Tian did not hide it and said it directly.
The corners of Shen Nian's lips curled up, "Which maid has a crush on him?"
Judging from the situation, it seems that one of the maids around Xia Tian has taken a fancy to Ling Chuan, so she came to find out more.
"Lingchuan doesn't have a favorite girl."
Shen Nian answered directly!
He actually knew about this because when Mu Feng and Ning Xue got engaged, he discovered that the people around him, like Mu Lin and Muchen, had already reached the age to get married.
It was because he didn't care that he didn't pay attention to their lifelong affairs in the first place.
Shen Nian felt a little guilty, so she actually took the time to ask a few people what they meant yesterday.
Mu Lin and Ling Chuan didn't have any ideas, they just told him to make the decision.
But Muchen actually has a girl he likes.
"Who has a crush on Lingchuan?" Shen Nian asked curiously.
If Ling Chuan thinks this is okay, he can make the decision for him.
"It's Cuiyun." Xia Tian thought for a moment, "But don't mention Cuiyun yet. First, help me test Lingchuan's attitude. If he doesn't object, we can talk about it in person later."
Although they are a subordinate and a maid, they will spend their lives together, so this matter requires mutual consent from both parties.
She and Shen Nian are just the middlemen!
"Well, when Lingchuan comes back, I'll ask him." Shen Nian agreed.
"However, there is one more thing I need you to do for me." Chen Nian said with a smile, "Mu Chen has taken a fancy to someone close to you and wants to ask if they agree!"
