Chapter 167 Getting Married
After Rong Jinchen returned, Su Zhenzhen obediently explained what had happened during the day. "My husband, I swear I didn't even look at that man, nor did I let the guards take him back to the government office." The man was still in the inn where the other guards were staying.
She just felt strange, how could it be such a coincidence?
On the huanghuali wood chaise longue, Rong Jinchen pulled her into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her cheek, "Qingqing, I never doubted you." His Qingqing had seen the best, so how could she care less about other vulgar women? The blame lay with that unethical young prostitute.
Su Zhenzhen rubbed her cheeks against his thin lips, wrapping her arms around the man's neck. "Husband, I just love your abs." She straightened up and whispered in his ear, nibbling on it. The man's eyes darkened, his large hands tightly clasping Su Zhenzhen's soft, boneless waist. Rong Jinchen's breathing quickened slightly, and he murmured, "Are you taking advantage of the fact that I can't bear to punish you?" How dare you tease him?
The girl shyly lay in his arms, looking at the man with sparkling eyes, "My husband loves me and can't bear to leave me." This man still knows his limits, so Su Zhenzhen is not afraid.
She changed the subject before the man could speak, "Husband, I bought a pair of sugar figures that look like you and me on the street today. Do you want to see them?" Without waiting for his reply, Su Zhenzhen twisted her waist and got up from him, ran to the antique shelf and took out two colorful sugar figures.
Rong Jinchen calmed himself down secretly, and looked at her figure intently. Seeing her come back, he reached out and held her on his lap, "Qingqing, you have good taste." Rong Jinchen's praise was very sincere, even though the appearance of this sugar figure had nothing to do with him, except that the eyebrows were black.
But this is a pair of sugar figurines, and Qingqing bought them herself. Rong Jinchen loves them so much that he thinks they are the best sugar figurines in the world.
Su Zhenzhen nodded in agreement. "Yes, I have the best taste. My husband is the best husband in the world." She completely forgot that she was forced to have good taste. The man's eyebrows softened, and he rubbed her little face. "You are so good, Qingqing." He kissed her lips as a reward.
Su Zhenzhen stayed with him for a long time, and the two talked about each other's interesting stories. "By the way, husband, the day after tomorrow is Baizhi and Gu Cheng's wedding day. I bought a three-story courtyard for Baizhi today, just as our wedding gift to them." It cost her several hundred taels of silver, which was not included in the dowry she had given to Baizhi.
There is no reason to get married in someone else's government office, and renting a house to get married is not a big deal either.
Rong Jinchen gave all his fortune to Su Zhenzhen, so naturally he would have no objection. "By the way, my dear, I want to give Gu Cheng two thousand taels of silver for his marriage." Gu Cheng was his subordinate after all. The betrothal gifts had drained out all the fortune he brought with him, and he even borrowed money from other guards. Rong Jinchen still had to give him some allowance.
Two thousand taels is not a small amount, it can even be said to be Gu Cheng’s income for two years. Rong Jinchen is indeed very generous.
Su Zhenzhen pursed her lips and smiled. "Okay, is your pocket money enough?" She was worried that Rong Jinchen was short of money. He whispered, "Qingqing, you just gave me a thousand taels of silver notes half a month ago, how could it not be enough?" He was not the kind of man who spent his money. Qingqing took care of his food, clothing, housing and transportation. Her eyes curved, a smile flickering in them, and the man leaned in and kissed her again.
February 29th.
Baizhi changed into a wedding dress that had been hastily made. It was the best ready-made wedding dress in the city, but had been tailored to her measurements. All women in this dynasty could wear a phoenix coronet and phoenix robe when they got married, but the patterns and the phoenix coronet on it had no rank.
Su Zhenzhen looked at her with a smile, "Today I also experienced the feeling of sending my sister to get married." Mrs. Quanfu, who was helping Bai Zhi with her face, was secretly shocked, and her hands moved lighter.
Being a maid like Miss Baizhi is so worth it!
Outside the house, gongs and drums were beating loudly, and the atmosphere was filled with joy. Su Zhenzhen said to Baizhi: "Your parents are not here today. As your family member, I will help sister Baizhi get married." Ever since Baizhi and Gu Cheng got engaged, she wrote letters back to ask Baizhi and Luwu's families to get their indentures back.
The women of the Yin family were all secretly shocked. How could the princess be so kind to her maid? It was said that she had given her a dowry of a thousand taels of silver and bought a three-story courtyard worth several hundred taels, inscribed with Miss Baizhi's name, as her marital home.
Oh my god.
So Gu Cheng came to Baizhi's house wearing a red wedding dress and wrote two poems to urge her to get ready. Su Zhenzhen then opened the door.
Gu Cheng was in high spirits today, his handsome face beaming with smiles, his wheat-colored complexion glowing red. "Your Highness, I'm here to pick up Bai Zhi." He stared at the door behind Su Zhenzhen.
Su Zhenzhen made a wait gesture with her hands, "Gu Cheng, do you still remember how you promised me?" She looked at Rong Jinchen beside Gu Cheng and curled the corners of her lips towards him.
Gu Cheng had a big red flower pinned on his chest, "Princess, I will definitely learn from Your Highness and treat Baizhi as you treat Your Highness. I only have Baizhi as a woman. My masters are Your Highness and Your Highness. A man's word is as good as his bond!" His eyes were sincere.
Nonsense, is he looking for death? His Highness only has one princess, the Princess, how dare he have three wives and four concubines? Is he tired of living?
Everyone was in an uproar, and even set their eyes on the personal guards around Gu Cheng who came to welcome the bride, wondering if they should also find out if any of the personal guards in the palace were married?
They also have a daughter who is not the eldest daughter.
The palace guards also have ranks.
If you were like Lord Gu, you would be so popular!
The palace guards and the Jinyiwei secretly groaned, damn it, it actually rolled up!
His Highness only has one woman, the Princess Consort. If they favor a concubine over their wife in the future, how will they survive in front of His Highness?
Su Zhenzhen raised her eyebrows slightly and crossed her hands, "Come in." The sound of gongs and drums and ritual music sounded again. Baizhi in the house also put on a bird and phoenix crown and walked out with the help of Luwu.
Gu Cheng was stunned when he saw the pure and elegant Bai Zhi, who was wearing makeup, with almond eyes and rosy cheeks, and her eyes were full of affection. Seeing him like this, Bai Zhi lowered her eyelashes shyly.
"Oh, the groom is staring at the bride!" Zhou Ting, the eldest daughter-in-law of Magistrate Yin, joked. Su Zhenzhen had already walked over to Rong Jinchen and said, "Husband, you looked at me like that too." She still missed that silly boy.
Rong Jinchen looked at her sideways, reached out and held her little hand, and felt relieved when he found it was warm, "It's still warm now." He will grow old with Qingqing.
Gu Cheng was awakened by the joking words. He walked over and picked up Bai Zhi directly, and carried her into the bridal sedan amid the cheers of the crowd.
There were sounds of firecrackers and gongs and drums all along the way. When they arrived at the worship hall in the third courtyard, Su Zhenzhen and Rong Jinchen sat at the top and experienced the joy of being parents in advance.
Who made Gu Cheng have no parents, and Bai Zhi's parents are far away in the capital?
