Chapter 184 Recruitment
In the capital city, people who heard the news wanted to go and see the excitement, but they didn't dare to get close and just watched from afar outside the street.
One by one, the red boxes were carried out of the General's Mansion and carried around the streets of the inner city to the Duke's Mansion.
Some people who didn't know what was going on saw such a big scene and asked the onlookers, "Which master is proposing marriage? Why is there such a big scene?"
"General Ji from the General's Mansion is proposing marriage to Master Wen from the Duke's Mansion."
"The marriage has been proposed, so the capital will be bustling again in a while."
When the princes and nobles from the general's mansion or the duke's mansion got married, the whole capital city became lively.
The marriage process generally follows the "Six Rites", which include accepting the bride's proposal, asking for the bride's name, accepting the bride's good wishes, accepting the bride's betrothal gifts, asking for the date of marriage and welcoming the bride.
Nazheng is the formal stage of sending betrothal gifts. Some time before the wedding, the man will prepare betrothal gifts and send them to the other party's home, and the other party also needs to prepare return gifts.
This also includes the gift-giving process, which is to choose an auspicious day to give gifts and propose marriage.
"General Ji, who served his country so well, finally got his beautiful wife."
"Well, have you ever seen what Master Wen looks like?"
"Who has ever seen this... that precious person?"
The man in blue clothes next to him said in a pretentious tone, "I have the honor of meeting Master Wen."
"tell me the story."
"Yes, how did you meet Master Wen?"
"Young Master Wen's shop will be audited at the end of the year. I had the honor of meeting Young Master Wen when I was buying things at Sifangyuan's shop."
"So, what does Master Wen look like?"
"She is more beautiful than the fairies in the sky. Not a single part of her facial features is not beautiful. Her temperament is even more noble and cold, just like the fairies in the sky."
In fact, he didn't even know if the face in his mind was still Young Master Wen, because Young Master Wen's face only flashed by at that time, and his aura was so strong that people dared not look directly at him.
The Duke's Mansion.
The head that popped out from the corner of the wall retracted when it saw a figure carrying a red box on the other side of the street.
Yuan Yu immediately ran towards Linfeng Courtyard.
Wen Yuting was sitting in the yard, playing with a black, shiny chess piece with her slender white fingers.
This makes his fingers look even more beautiful.
His eyes were fixed on the chessboard filled with black and white chess pieces, but they were somewhat absent-minded.
Yuan Qi, who was sitting opposite him in a tight suit, also noticed that the young master's mind was not on this.
Wen Yuting's mind was on Ji Chen, who was walking towards them from the Duke's Mansion, which was still a few hundred meters away.
There was a noise coming from the door, it was Yuanyu coming.
Yuan Yu steadied his steps to make himself look less flustered, "Master, General Ji is at the corner east of Chonghua Street."
Wen Yuting threw the chess piece in his hand back into the chess basket.
"Let's go and take a look ahead."
"Master...this."
Yuan Qi stopped talking halfway. His young master was different from other young masters. No matter what he wanted, he would do as his young master wished.
Yuan Qi and Yuan Yu followed Wen Yuting on the left and right as they walked towards the main courtyard.
When we arrived at the main courtyard, we saw the Duke and his wife sitting in the main seats in the living room, dressed elegantly.
Wen Yuting was the first to greet, "Dad and Mom."
When the Duke's wife saw Wen Yuting coming over, she was surprised and asked, "Why is Ting'er here?"
"Let me take a look."
"Then sit here."
The Duke's wife took Wen Yuting's hand and asked him to sit in the first seat at the bottom. She sat next to him and talked to Wen Yuting until she heard some noise coming from the door outside, then she returned to the main seat.
Hearing the message from the person outside, the Duke and his wife came down from the main seat and walked outside hand in hand.
At the entrance to the main courtyard and the main gate, there was a person reading the gift list aloud.
Ji Chen stepped forward and politely bowed and greeted the Duke and the Duke's wife.
Ji Chen naturally saw Wen Yuting who followed behind.
After greeting his future father-in-law and mother-in-law, his eyes stayed on Wen Yuting for a long time.
Wen Yuting was wearing a red dress today. The clothes made of Guangling silk fabric were shining in the sun.
This warm red dress does not conflict with Wen Yuting's cool temperament, but blends well together.
The person standing behind was the first person Ji Chen saw when he entered the yard.
He thought it might be because the clothes were too dazzling, but how could that be possible? They must have telepathically seen each other and looked at each other at the first sight.
Ji Chen was wearing a black suit with a dark red lining.
He looks tall, capable and reliable.
When Ji Chen was facing a series of processes, even though he had imagined it many times in his mind, he still couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
Because they are one step closer to getting married.
But with Wen Yuting present, Ji Chen felt that it was not a big deal.
From the very beginning, Ji Chen ignored why Wen Yuning was also present. He thought that whatever Wen Yuning did was right and should be done.
A quarter of an hour later, the sound of reading the gift list outside had not stopped, which showed how generous the betrothal gifts brought by the general's mansion were.
The two families agreed on the wedding date, which was the first day of May.
The day calculated by the imperial teacher was the most suitable day for marriage in the past six months, and the time was just right.
The Duke and his wife were very satisfied with Ji Chen as their son-in-law, and they felt at ease leaving their only child to him.
But when they thought that in two months their son would not be able to stay with them all the time, the travelers could not help feeling a little sad.
After finishing the important work, Ji Chen and Wen Yu went to the back.
They walked side by side, and seeing that there was no one around, Ji Chen tentatively took Wen Yuting's hand, and Wen Yuting did not refuse.
Ji Chen became more aggressive and squeezed it in his hand again, and Wen Yuting followed his lead.
"I must give you a grand wedding scene."
Wen Yu smiled when she heard this, and she also felt anticipation in her heart, "Okay, I'll wait."
Wen Yuting's eyebrows curved as she smiled, and her peach blossom eyes seemed to be filled with deep affection.
Seeing Ji Chen’s breathing in unison is so nice and beautiful, I want to kiss him.
Ji Chen turned his face away, but he couldn't kiss her. There was no one here in the open, but there were people in the dark. If he kissed her now, it would be heard by his father-in-law and mother-in-law in a quarter of an hour.
Wen Yu listened to Ji Chen's reaction, knew what he was thinking, and found it funny.
This guy is really domineering when he becomes domineering. Now he wants to leave a good impression on his parents, so he pretends to be well-behaved.
"I wrote a letter to Jiang Ci, inviting them to come and see us get married, and to stroll around the capital."
"Okay, invite all the friends you meet abroad to attend the wedding banquet. I will prepare a place for them to stay."
"I'll leave this to you. Don't make the accommodation too luxurious. They won't be used to it."
"You can rest assured."
