"We have signed the engagement letter and combined the gift list. With that, the marriage is basically settled. We just need to wait for the eighth day of next month to get married and have the wedding ceremony."
Although Imperial Concubine Jiang had sent several housekeepers to help, and Nanny Qin had rehearsed the event many times in the mansion, the betrothal gifts from the Pei family were too much, and they had doubled the amount from the previous gift list. The entire general's mansion was filled with gifts, and everyone was in a panic.
Fortunately, the wife of Marquis Wende was an expert in matchmaking and she presided over the process with ease and safely finalized the marriage.
But the wife of Marquis Wende had been a matchmaker for three years, and this was the first time she had arranged a marriage in such a hurry, and these two visits were the first time.
Last time, she and the matchmaker were almost at the door, but Master Pei insisted that he was summoned urgently and turned around and went back home halfway.
She thought that he, the Grand Tutor, looked down upon Miss Xiao from the General's Mansion and wanted to break off the engagement.
Looking back now, the old lady of Wendehou glanced at Master Pei standing beside her——
Master Pei had a calm and indifferent expression on his face, and his eyes had never left people since he entered the room.
Thinking back to the last time, I looked nervous when I set out, and even more dejected when I turned back. How could I be so high-spirited today?
Come on, it’s not that Master Pei wants to break off the engagement, it’s that Master Pei is afraid that the girl will break off his engagement.
But it was so rare that there was someone in this world who made Pei Che so upset.
Of course, if he hadn't been so anxious, he wouldn't have been like a fool and recklessly chased her out of the city on a fast horse, stopped her, and asked her to be a matchmaker.
Because people say that no couple will break up because of her matchmaking.
Who would have thought that a great tutor would be so superstitious.
It won't break up. She is the matchmaker, so it won't break up.
The old lady of Wende Marquis looked at the pair of people standing together like a pair of wall figures and said with a smile, "They are truly a match made in heaven. I have never seen a better match than them."
"You say this every time. I haven't heard you say a new word in years. No wonder other families don't ask you to be a matchmaker anymore." Mrs. Pei said jokingly.
Madam Pei agreed with a smile and said, "That's right. When I got married, that's what you said, old lady. Not a word has changed."
The old lady of Wendehou looked at Madam Pei and said, "Don't worry, when your son gets married, I will never say such things. I will only praise the girl, not this fool of yours."
"What does it have to do with me? No, old lady, I am innocent! Don't listen to what people outside say, they are all rumors. I am fine and I am still worthy of praise."
Pei 떚ye's wailing was heard in the hall, and everyone's attention shifted to Pei 떚ye who was acting coquettishly and trying to please others.
Jiang Shiyuan took a deep breath and his eyes fell on the person next to him.
Today, the powerful Pei Taifu, like her, as a new bride, had no seat and could only stand aside to keep her company.
Jiang Shiyuan quietly moved his body, and the finger hidden in his sleeve grabbed one of Pei Che's fingers.
"I'm sorry," she whispered.
Pei Che remained unmoved, letting her point fingers at him, "What are you sorry for?"
Jiang Shiyuan lowered his eyelids and said guiltily, "I'm sorry for making you wait in vain last time."
She was just a little late, but she felt extremely wronged, and her heart felt empty as if a piece of it had been hollowed out.
That day, she ran away all day, and he must have been very sad.
Pei Che turned his mind and held her slender fingers in his palm: "It's even, you waited for me once."
Jiang Shiyuan felt a lump in his throat. Why was he still imitating her way of speaking?
She thought back to the day of the palace banquet when Pei Che solemnly gave her the tangerines, which were sour yet had an irresistible sweetness.
"No, I will go to the palace gate tomorrow and wait for the Grand Tutor to resign. I will wait for him a thousand times." Jiang Shiyuan's voice was soft, but his tone was extremely serious.
Pei Che held her body tightly, wishing he could rub her into his bones and blood.
How could there be someone who is so good at teasing? Just a few words could make him unable to extricate himself.
Waiting for you a thousand times is more beautiful than "eternal love".
"What a pity, Master, I have a day off tomorrow." Pei Che said with a smile.
Jiang Shiyuan came back to his senses and said, "Yes, Master Pei is taking a day off."
Jiang Shiyuan looked up at him, eyes full of affection, and smiled gently, "Then after we get married, I'll go wait for the tutor to get off duty, okay?"
Pei Che regretted it a little.
Maybe he is still too conservative, setting the wedding date so far in the future.
Want to get married soon.
I want to marry her quickly.
Want to protect her,
Day and night.
All the time.
…
About half a day later, all the procedures were completed, the engagement was successfully concluded, and the next step was to prepare for the wedding half a month later.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the Pei family stood up and said goodbye.
"I'm going to see the two old ladies off."
Jiang Shiyuan took the initiative to step forward to support Madam Pei. As soon as he got closer, the familiar fragrance came to his nose.
Although there were many kinds of fragrance on Mrs. Pei's body, Jiang Shiyuan was very sure that it was the Lingxi fragrance produced by her Chenxiang Workshop.
Was it given by Zhanxue as a gift to the old lady?
But this perfume powder is specially formulated for young girls, and it is obviously not suitable for an old lady of her status.
Jiang Shiyuan was just wondering, and he had already walked out of the gate. He was about to send Madam Pei to the Pei family's carriage when the old lady of Marquis Wende in front waved to him.
"Aru, get on my carriage, let's have a chat."
Jiang Shiyuan paused. Old Madam Pei glanced at her meaningfully, patted her cheeks and said with a smile.
"My dear daughter-in-law, you don't need to help me, I can walk."
After saying that, Madam Pei walked briskly and boarded the carriage of Madam Wendehou.
As soon as the old sisters sat down, the old lady of Wendehou couldn't help laughing and said, "You don't have to be so happy about marrying a daughter-in-law. How many pounds of perfume powder do you have on you?"
Mrs. Pei smiled but said nothing.
If I don't hang a few more pounds of perfume powder, how can I hide it from her cargo?
He was patient, but she, an old woman, was impatient to wait.
Jiang Shiyuan was still standing there in a daze, with something flashing through his mind.
The old lady was wearing perfume powder that was only produced by Chenxiangfang, and her maiden name contained the word "Ru"?
How coincidental?
