Interstellar female dressed as country dude
Chapter 104
Marriage proposal is not just a matter of going, but a dowry gift must be prepared.
After Xie Huaiyu sent the letter, he had to wait for more than half a month, and he was panicked, afraid that something might happen to Baishu.
He sent someone over to inquire again, only to find out that Bai Shu had gone to Nanyang and hadn't returned yet.
So he left old Fengtou to wait in Baitang Village, and waited until the end of May.
At this time, there are not many days left until the sixth day of June.Bai Shu really didn't know what dowry gift he wanted, so he wrote back and asked Xie Huaiyu to follow the custom in the capital.
According to the customs in Beijing, the dowry is higher than that in Fucheng.Especially for honorable families like them, the more dowries, the more they value each other.
Xie Huaiyu's treatment of Baishu couldn't be treated as normal.
After much deliberation, he prepared 6 taels of silver, and bought a Zhuangzi in advance in a beautiful place in the suburbs of Beijing.
As for those shops, he had already given them to Baishu, and now there are not many in his hand, so he picked the most profitable Laifulu to give away.
He was not prepared for the ordinary gold and jade jewelry, fabrics and cloth, because Bai Shu didn't like these things, and the journey was far away, and bandits were easy to be attracted on the road, so it's better to save the trouble.
At this time, for families with titles in Beijing, most of the betrothal gifts for their sons will be several thousand taels of silver.
If someone pays tens of thousands of taels, it will be very face-saving, and it will be envied by all the girls and brothers in the whole capital.
However, more money and less money is one thing, and the dowry should not be small.
Therefore, no matter how many dowries there are, these aristocratic families will make dozens of large boxes, and then find someone to carry them out, blowing and beating a street, to support themselves.
It is said that there were a total of 36 large boxes for the dowry gift of Duke Lu's mansion.
As a result, when we arrived at the woman's house, everyone opened and checked, only to find that there were some worthless fabrics and jewelry in the box, and the dowry gift was only 5000 taels of silver, which was not much more than the average family.
The matter soon spread throughout the capital, and was even treated as a joke, saying that Duke Lu's face was swollen to pretend to be fat.
Although Xie Huaiyu's dowry gifts were quite a lot, they were all receipts.
It is impossible for him to exchange all the [-] silver notes into cash, and then find someone to carry them all the way to Baitang Village.
So I packed it up, but it was all packed in a small box.
A betrothal gift that can be contained in a box.There is only one copy in the entire capital.
On the third day of June, Xie Huaiyu packed up her luggage and was ready to go out to meet her relatives.
Just in case, he went out this time with a team of guards by his side.
It looked like they were just guards found outside, but in fact they were seconded to him by Qi Qinyue. They were all very brave, so it was not a problem to guard his safety.
When Xie Huaiyu was about to go out, she hugged her little box with her own hands.
The person who came to see him out shook his head, thinking in his heart that Xie Huaiyu was too stingy for only preparing such a small betrothal gift.
When Lou, who was locked up in the courtyard, heard the news, he was relieved.
She originally wondered if she had fallen into Xie Huaiyu's trap again, but now that Xie Huaiyu had only prepared such a small dowry, she felt that he was naturally very dissatisfied with this country wife.
In the eldest prince's mansion, Zhao Yan heard that Xie Huaiyu was going out to propose marriage, and he only prepared a dowry gift in a box, and his heart blossomed with joy.
This Xie Huaiyu fought against him every day, and now he has finally learned his lesson.Let's see what kind of country bumpkin he will marry, and let the whole capital laugh at him!
While Xie Huaiyu was going out, in Baiyu Villa...
Bai Shu finally arranged everything in the village.
First of all, the peacocks he brought back from Nanyang were a little wilted after the bumpy journey.
But when he arrived at Baiyu Mountain Villa, he released the peacocks and built a shed on the back mountain to let them roam free.
Those peacocks had their feathers clipped, and they couldn't fly. After a while in Baiyu Villa, they got used to eating and drinking.
The peacocks brought back by Baishu this time have more males and fewer females.But it didn't take long for the two female peacocks to start laying eggs.
In the territory of Daxuan, the peacock is also known as the little phoenix, which has attracted many people to see it.
Without Bai Shu's arrangements, Chen Dongqing started the business of feeding peacocks. For a while, just feeding the peacocks earned hundreds of taels of silver a day.
Baiyu Villa is already on the right track, and it is managed by Chen Dongqing, so he doesn't need to worry about it.
Chen Dongqing is good at arithmetic, and his accounts are also very good. During his absence, he earned more than 3 taels. Adding in the income from the previous year and the year after, Baishu earned more than 7 taels in just one spring. More than he expected.
Because of Chen Dongqing's ability, Bai Shu raised his monthly silver again, 30 taels of silver per month, which was more than the chief executive in Beijing, and it was a huge sum of money.
After all, Chen Dongqing is now managing a big village, with more and more people in charge, and more things to worry about, which is different from before.
While leaving, the staff dormitory of Baiyu Villa was finally repaired.
Bai Shu went to the county to order a batch of willow furniture and refurbished the dormitory, which was much better than many houses in the village.
Most of these employees of Baiyu Villa have followed him all the way, and they are also very loyal.
Of course Bai Shu would not lose them, and he had to provide them with better conditions in order to keep them loyal.
After all these arrangements were made, Bai Shu felt relieved and concentrated on waiting for Xie Huaiyu's arrival.
On the morning of the sixth day of June, Bai Shu woke up very early.Since last night, he has been tossing and turning, and he didn't sleep well all night.
Proposing marriage is not picking up marriage, Bai Shu naturally does not need to dress up, nor does she need to wear a red wedding dress.
But for such a big event, it is natural not to be sloppy.Even though he kept saying no need, he was pressed down by the maid of Xie's family and combed his hair.After putting on an exquisite sky blue dress again, he is a very handsome little brother.
As soon as he finished combing, he heard Chen Dongqing shouting outside: "Brother Bai, Mr. Xie has arrived!"
Bai Shu was so excited that she didn't even have time to walk through the main entrance, so she turned over from the window sill.
The sixth day of June is a good day to propose marriage. In order to catch up with this auspicious time, Xie Huaiyu deliberately walked slowly all the way and stayed in the county town for one night.
Getting up early in the morning, he rode a horse and entered Baitang Village with a group of guards.
All the villagers in Baitang Village recognized Xie Huaiyu.
They knew that this was the son of the earl's family, and he returned to Beijing a few days ago.I don't know what happened today, but I came back with a team of guards.
These villagers have been with Xie Huaiyu for a year, and they are not as afraid of him as they were at the beginning.
Seeing him coming, someone with good intentions asked: "Young Master Xie, why are you coming back to Baitang Village again? Do you want to come back to live?"
Xie Huaiyu was in a good mood, so he didn't hesitate to explain to him: "I didn't come back to live, I came back to propose marriage."
Hearing him talking about marriage proposal, the villager's eyes widened, thinking he had heard wrongly, and kept repeating: "Tititi... propose marriage?"
"It's indeed a marriage proposal." Xie Huaiyu sat on the horse and said with a smile, "I'm proposing marriage with little brother Bai."
The man opened his mouth wide, with an expression of seeing a ghost.After a while, he spread his legs and ran towards the house, shouting all the way: "Master Xie is back, he is going to propose marriage to Brother Bai! Master Xie is going to propose marriage to Brother Bai!"
The villagers who heard it on the road couldn't believe it for a while.
Everyone scrambled to leave, and those who dragged their families rushed to the direction of Baiyu Villa.
An earl's heir wants to propose marriage in Baitang Village, which is already big news that has never been seen before!What's more, the person who was proposed was still Bai Shu, and that was Bai Shu who couldn't get married before!
When Xie Huaiyu arrived at the gate of Baiyu Villa, there were already many people around the gate.
They were all villagers who had come to meet Xie's family to propose marriage, and their eyes were wide open, looking eagerly at Xie Huaiyu.
Even the village head, Bai Baoshan, came to join in the fun after hearing the words.
The betrothal gift of Chen Dongqing's marriage had already surprised him, the village chief.He was also curious about how much the dowry gift would be as the Xie family's identity!
Bai Shu saw Xie Huaiyu from a distance, he was riding a horse, followed by dozens of strong guards.
Xie Huaiyu lost a lot of weight after being injured. She hasn't seen her for a month, but she has recovered a little, and her complexion seems to be getting better.
He was wearing a black dress, red in black, extremely luxurious, which made his complexion fairer.
This strong outfit is different from the previous toga with long sleeves, it has narrow sleeves for self-cultivation, just like riding a horse, it makes Xie Huaiyu's whole temperament much sharper, but it is even more beautiful.
Xie Huaiyu also saw Baishu standing at the gate of Zhuangzi at a glance.
The other party went to Nanyang for a trip, and the tan was even darker, the skin was honey-colored, and it felt sweet when looking at it, making one couldn't help but want to take a bite.
Bai Shu's hair was combed very neatly today, and she looked a little more energetic, wearing her favorite sky blue shirt.
His eyebrows were long, and his eyes were round and bright. When they met him, they turned into crescent moons, full of affection, which almost melted his heart.
Xie Huaiyu glanced at the crowd and noticed the village head, Bai Baoshan.He smiled, and rode up to Baibaoshan and said, "It's so coincidental, the village chief is here too. Please be a matchmaker for me, and help me find Baishu and propose this marriage.
After speaking, he handed a box to Bai Baoshan, and gave him a dowry list.
Bai Baoshan took those things with a nod and bowed his head, seeing that there was only one box for the betrothal gift, and he didn't know how much it was.
He opened the dowry gift list, and when he saw the amount written on it, he gasped and sweated profusely, even the hands holding the box trembled!
"Six...6 taels of silver?" Bai Baoshan read it several times, for fear that he might have misread it.
He has been operating in Baitang Village all his life, and he can earn more than ten taels of silver a year, which he already thinks is a lot.The 6 taels of silver was an astronomical figure, which made his tongue tied up and he was almost speechless.
When Chen Dongqing saw it, she took the box and the betrothal gift form from Bai Baoshan's hand and said, "Village Chief, or I'll do it for you."
Recently, he helped run the village and handled a large sum of money. He was used to seeing money, so he calmed down a lot.
Hearing this, Bai Baoshan didn't want to hold the hot potato any more, and hastily handed it over.
After Chen Dongqing took it, he said to the yard: "Brother Bai, listen carefully. Mr. Xie has prepared 6 taels of silver for this proposal, a place in the suburb of Beijing, with [-] acres of farmland. , ten acres of mountains and forests, and a shop in Laifulou in the capital. All these properties will be used as your betrothal gift and belong to you, are you willing?"
When the villagers heard the figure of 6 taels, they couldn't help exclaiming!
Some people almost fainted from excitement, as if they had won silver, that was 6 taels!Money that they could not earn in dozens of lifetimes!There are so many fields and shops, even if you eat beef every day, you can't spend it all!
"Yes, yes! I am willing!" Bai Shu nodded hurriedly and said, "I don't know how long I've been waiting, why would I not want to!"
As soon as Bai Shu said this, everyone laughed, and the guards brought by Xie Huaiyu couldn't help but burst out laughing.
They all felt that Bai Shu hated marrying so much, and when they met such a good man as Xie Huaiyu who proposed marriage, they couldn't wait to get married.
Only Xie Huaiyu's eyes were wet. He remembered that he had asked Bai Shu to wait before. Bai Shu said it was fine and he was willing to wait, but until now, this must be his true words.
What a bastard he was, to keep Bai Shu waiting, and he really didn't know how long he had been waiting!
Even if both parties are willing, the marriage proposal is naturally considered a success.
Everyone in Baiyu Villa cheered, and Chen Dongqing took out the candies that he had prepared earlier and distributed them to the onlookers to make them feel happy.
Baibaoshan is on the spot, so there is no need to invite him.
Bai Shu and Xie Huaiyu entered the villa, so they invited him in too.
The four servants in spring, summer, autumn and winter brought out pens and paper smoothly, and asked Bai Baoshan to write documents for them on the spot, and then followed him back to stamp a huge official seal, and the marriage letter was considered notarized.
With this document, Bai Shu is Xie Huaiyu's fiancée, but the real document cannot be processed at this time, and needs to be done in Beijing.
Xie Huaiyu and Bai Shu will be able to hold a wedding ceremony after the approval of the documents from the central Beijing government. By then, they will be a real couple, and no one will be able to say anything!
After doing all this, Baibaoshan was sent back.The guards brought by Xie Huaiyu were arranged to stay overnight in Baiyu Villa.
Wait until tomorrow morning, and then set off for the capital.
The two hadn't seen each other for more than a month. At this time, they retreated from the crowd and returned to the room. They just looked at each other for a long time, wishing they could look at each other more often.
Xie Huaiyu originally felt that she missed Baishu very much, but now that she saw her and hugged her tightly, she felt some real feeling.
The two of them embraced each other, and it was unknown how long they had been warm.
Because it was early summer, the weather was hot, but after a while, the two of them were sweating lightly.
Bai Shu and Xie Huaiyu held hands, remembering that it was about this season when he traveled to Daxuan.
Time flies so fast, a year has passed without realizing it, but Bai Shu always feels that it is only a few months.
After another moment, Bai Shu made a few moves, distanced himself from Xie Huaiyu and said, "The weather is really too hot."
"It's June, it's the beginning of summer, of course." Xie Huaiyu smiled and looked at the scorching sun outside the window.
It's just that even if the weather is so hot, the two are still willing to get tired of being together.
Bai Shu asked someone to bring up a fruit plate, and sat side by side with Xie Huaiyu on the terrace, the two of them ate watermelon with the view.
Xie Huaiyu felt that the azure clothes on Bai Shu's body were really good-looking, and it complemented his fair complexion, so he touched the soft fabric on the clothes.
Bai Zhu ducked back and said, "Hands are dirty, there is watermelon juice, don't stain your clothes."
Seeing this, Xie Huaiyu wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and approached Baishu's ear as if coaxing a child, and whispered, "Don't hide, just let me touch the fabric, okay?"
When Bai Shu heard the words, he really didn't hide at all.He straightened his back docilely and let Xie Huaiyu touch it.
Xie Huaiyu's current cute appearance made Xie Huaiyu feel pity and love, let go of the clothes in his hand, couldn't help but put dense kisses on his face, and only asked if you miss me?
"I miss you so much..." Bai Shu's voice was choked with sobs, but she answered naturally.He is a simple person. If he likes it, he likes it. When he misses it, he misses it. He never hides it.
When Xie Huaiyu heard the words, he felt like a drum was beating in his heart, full of emotions.
This kind of treasure is fortunate to be obtained by myself.Perhaps the charity he did in the past has paid off now.
Bai Shu is so obedient, and only in front of Xie Huaiyu, if Wan Kang from Nanyang sees him, his jaw will drop in shock.
Now that they are a legitimate and unmarried couple, Xie Huaiyu taught Bai Shu how to play a new game in Beijing for a long time.
It's just that Xie Huaiyu wanted to leave that matter to the bridal chamber, but she still didn't do the last big move.
But the previous love alone is enough for the two of them to practice until dawn.
The dinner for Bai Shu and Xie Huaiyu was served in the room.
Bai Zhu had already eaten a full belly of milk, and Xie Huaiyu squeezed it too much, so he was hungry and ate an extra bowl than usual.
But his physique is very good, even if he has consumed so much, he will be a good man again after dinner.
After eating, Bai Zhu put hot water on it, and sat in the bathtub with Xie Huaiyu to take a bath.
He played with Xie Huaiyu in it for a while, and then he came out of the bathtub, and sat with Xie Huaiyu hugging and leaning against each other to watch the moon.
Xie Huaiyu sat in the back, and wiped away Baizhu's wet hair with a cotton handkerchief, then said, "I'm still happy here. Now that you're going back to Beijing with me, I'm both happy and unhappy." I'm afraid I won't have such a good life in the land of tigers and wolves."
"Then we're not leaving, shall we?" Bai Shu was also somewhat reluctant to part with his friends in Baitang Village.
He came here for a year, and finally made these friends, but he was about to leave again.
"Zhongli still can't leave me now." Xie Huaiyu said: "When everything is settled, we will come back to live again. Or live here for the first half of the year, and live in Beijing for the first half of the year, do you think it would be good?"
Bai Shu also knew his difficulties, so he nodded and said: "Okay. We can still live in Nanyang, where Zhuangzi is almost healed, and you can still see the sea. I have long wanted to take you to see it together."
Xie Huaiyu felt very much looking forward to it when he heard it, and happily kissed Bai Shu's earlobe lightly, and nodded.
Early the next morning, Bai Shu packed his luggage and was about to leave with Xie Huaiyu.
He asked Chen Dongqing to move back to Baiyu Villa and help him guard the village.
All the staff in the village came to bid him farewell, and Bai Shu saw Li'er and the three young children of the Wang family also came.
The children were the most emotional. When they heard that Bai Zhu was leaving, they cried.
Li'er rushed over and hugged his waist and said, "Godfather, don't leave. Li'er will take care of you when he grows up!"
Seeing the children crying, the eye sockets of Chen Dongqing and Chun Xia Qiu Dong's brothers were also wet.
Chen Dongqing took Bai Shu's hand and said, "If someone from the Xie family bullies you, you can come back to us. Although we have nothing to do, we will support you even if we do our best!"
Bai Shu laughed when he heard that, and said to them, "Who have you ever seen dare to bully me? It's getting more and more outrageous."
Everyone heard the words and thought about it, and they seemed to be the same, so they relaxed a little, and laughed along with them.
Qin Miaomiao gave Baizhu a small package, which was square and seemed to contain several booklets.
"This is..." Bai Shu glanced at him in confusion.
Qin Miaomiao blinked and said: "This is all my treasures for many years, and now I give it to you. We are waiting for your good news."
Bai Shu was still a little unclear, so Xie Huaiyu coughed twice, stretched out his hand to take the burden, and said to Qin Miaomiao, "Thank you very much."
If he continued to dawdle, he would not be able to leave today, so Bai Shu got on his horse, rode with Xie Huaiyu, and set off to leave.
When the team passed by Xie's old house, Bai Shu and Xie Huaiyu made a detour to see Xiaoshu's grave.
The grave is often taken care of, and it is well maintained. Xie Huaiyu and Bai Zhu stayed in front of it for a while, burned three incense sticks and said, "Little tree, I have proposed marriage with Bai Zhu, I am very happy! Don't worry, go to the grave." I'm not alone anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Shu heard a gust of wind blowing, and a row of mulberry trees not far away rustled.
"He must have heard it, and he is also happy for you." Bai Shu said to Xie Huaiyu.
Xie Huaiyu nodded, and left with Bai Zhu on his arm. Behind the two of them, incense was burning in the breeze, green smoke curled up, and there was a little bright flame from time to time, as if someone was watching their leaving back from afar, and smiled slightly.
After Bai Shu and the others arrived in the county, they stayed for another day.
Bai Shu went to the children's place to have a look, and after explaining well, she left with peace of mind.
Although these children have been wandering for many years, they are not stupid.A few children were even quite intelligent.
Like Yulang, older children learn very quickly, and they should be able to go out to do things in a short time.
Hearing that Baishu was going to the capital, Yulang pestered him to ask if he could bring himself into the capital too. Now he has learned abacus calculation and can read more than 200 characters.
Upon hearing this, Bai Shu laughed and said, "Your ability is not enough now, if you want to help me with something, this ability is not enough, you should study hard."
Yulang was very unwilling and wished he could work harder.
Seeing him like this, Bai Shu thought that if he wanted to open another villa of Baiyu Villa in the suburbs of Beijing in the future, Yulang would be able to help him manage things.
The two continued to set off the next day and arrived in Fucheng.
They didn't stay in Fucheng, they greeted Wanjia, and then chartered a boat and left.
When Wan Ruyi heard that Bai Shu was engaged to Xie Huaiyu, her silver teeth were almost gnawed into pieces.
After sending the two of them away, they cried sadly for a long time, but after they came out, they clamored to go to Nanyang, saying that they were going to help manage Zhuangzi in Nanyang.
After sailing for a day and a night, the boat arrived in the capital at noon the next day.
This is the second time that Baishu has entered Beijing, but it is the first time to enter through the main entrance.
Before Xie Huaiyu, Bai Shu and others entered the city, they rode back all the way back.However, after entering the city, they called a carriage and asked Bai Shu to sit in the carriage.
After all, Bai Shu is only his fiancée now, and the two of them are too close to share a ride together. It is not good to gossip about Bai Shu if someone sees it.
Last time, Bai Shu was stopped by the guards at the gate of the city, and turned over from the city wall.
But this time, Xie Huaiyu directly took out the documents of their marriage contract, and the guard opened the city gate, and registered Bai Shu's name, but the gossip took a few extra glances at the fiancée of the eldest son of the Xie family.
Such a tall and manly elder brother is actually Mr. Xie's fiancée.
Looking at his figure and appearance, if it weren't for the dull cinnabar mole on his forehead, he would be the same as a man.
And the pregnancy mole is so dim, it looks like it is not easy to give birth to.
Seeing Mr. Xie's appearance, he seemed to be very polite to him.
The men secretly thought it was funny when they saw it, and thought that this guy was really lucky.
He also ridiculed Mr. Xie's family, thinking that he was really unlucky. With such a fortune, he had to marry such a wife.Even if the wealth is not as good as his, whoever marries a beautiful lady, or a brother, must be a good child.
However, many girls and brothers on the street don't think so in their hearts.
They had also heard that Xie Huaiyu was going to marry a country bumpkin, and now they saw this legendary bumpkin, and he was actually a brother.
They originally thought that Xie Huaiyu would just put him at home as a pretense when he brought him back.
However, seeing Xie Huaiyu leading Baishu into a carriage, there was no trace of disgust on his face, instead, he was riding a horse by the side of the car window, patiently explaining the customs of various places in Beijing to him from time to time, it is really amazing Treat her like a real fiancée.
They were both envious and bitter in their hearts.
On the one hand, he admired Xie Huaiyu's character, and on the other hand, he was jealous of Bai Shu. He only felt that Xie Huaiyu, such a golden husband-in-law, was actually taken over by this country boy.
The author has something to say: Xie Huaiyu: Xiaoshu, I have proposed marriage with Baishu, I am very happy!
Xiaoshu (using the power of his soul to angrily blow a gust of wind, hitting the faces of both of them): MMP, I'm dead, and I still need to watch you throw dog food in front of me!
After Xie Huaiyu sent the letter, he had to wait for more than half a month, and he was panicked, afraid that something might happen to Baishu.
He sent someone over to inquire again, only to find out that Bai Shu had gone to Nanyang and hadn't returned yet.
So he left old Fengtou to wait in Baitang Village, and waited until the end of May.
At this time, there are not many days left until the sixth day of June.Bai Shu really didn't know what dowry gift he wanted, so he wrote back and asked Xie Huaiyu to follow the custom in the capital.
According to the customs in Beijing, the dowry is higher than that in Fucheng.Especially for honorable families like them, the more dowries, the more they value each other.
Xie Huaiyu's treatment of Baishu couldn't be treated as normal.
After much deliberation, he prepared 6 taels of silver, and bought a Zhuangzi in advance in a beautiful place in the suburbs of Beijing.
As for those shops, he had already given them to Baishu, and now there are not many in his hand, so he picked the most profitable Laifulu to give away.
He was not prepared for the ordinary gold and jade jewelry, fabrics and cloth, because Bai Shu didn't like these things, and the journey was far away, and bandits were easy to be attracted on the road, so it's better to save the trouble.
At this time, for families with titles in Beijing, most of the betrothal gifts for their sons will be several thousand taels of silver.
If someone pays tens of thousands of taels, it will be very face-saving, and it will be envied by all the girls and brothers in the whole capital.
However, more money and less money is one thing, and the dowry should not be small.
Therefore, no matter how many dowries there are, these aristocratic families will make dozens of large boxes, and then find someone to carry them out, blowing and beating a street, to support themselves.
It is said that there were a total of 36 large boxes for the dowry gift of Duke Lu's mansion.
As a result, when we arrived at the woman's house, everyone opened and checked, only to find that there were some worthless fabrics and jewelry in the box, and the dowry gift was only 5000 taels of silver, which was not much more than the average family.
The matter soon spread throughout the capital, and was even treated as a joke, saying that Duke Lu's face was swollen to pretend to be fat.
Although Xie Huaiyu's dowry gifts were quite a lot, they were all receipts.
It is impossible for him to exchange all the [-] silver notes into cash, and then find someone to carry them all the way to Baitang Village.
So I packed it up, but it was all packed in a small box.
A betrothal gift that can be contained in a box.There is only one copy in the entire capital.
On the third day of June, Xie Huaiyu packed up her luggage and was ready to go out to meet her relatives.
Just in case, he went out this time with a team of guards by his side.
It looked like they were just guards found outside, but in fact they were seconded to him by Qi Qinyue. They were all very brave, so it was not a problem to guard his safety.
When Xie Huaiyu was about to go out, she hugged her little box with her own hands.
The person who came to see him out shook his head, thinking in his heart that Xie Huaiyu was too stingy for only preparing such a small betrothal gift.
When Lou, who was locked up in the courtyard, heard the news, he was relieved.
She originally wondered if she had fallen into Xie Huaiyu's trap again, but now that Xie Huaiyu had only prepared such a small dowry, she felt that he was naturally very dissatisfied with this country wife.
In the eldest prince's mansion, Zhao Yan heard that Xie Huaiyu was going out to propose marriage, and he only prepared a dowry gift in a box, and his heart blossomed with joy.
This Xie Huaiyu fought against him every day, and now he has finally learned his lesson.Let's see what kind of country bumpkin he will marry, and let the whole capital laugh at him!
While Xie Huaiyu was going out, in Baiyu Villa...
Bai Shu finally arranged everything in the village.
First of all, the peacocks he brought back from Nanyang were a little wilted after the bumpy journey.
But when he arrived at Baiyu Mountain Villa, he released the peacocks and built a shed on the back mountain to let them roam free.
Those peacocks had their feathers clipped, and they couldn't fly. After a while in Baiyu Villa, they got used to eating and drinking.
The peacocks brought back by Baishu this time have more males and fewer females.But it didn't take long for the two female peacocks to start laying eggs.
In the territory of Daxuan, the peacock is also known as the little phoenix, which has attracted many people to see it.
Without Bai Shu's arrangements, Chen Dongqing started the business of feeding peacocks. For a while, just feeding the peacocks earned hundreds of taels of silver a day.
Baiyu Villa is already on the right track, and it is managed by Chen Dongqing, so he doesn't need to worry about it.
Chen Dongqing is good at arithmetic, and his accounts are also very good. During his absence, he earned more than 3 taels. Adding in the income from the previous year and the year after, Baishu earned more than 7 taels in just one spring. More than he expected.
Because of Chen Dongqing's ability, Bai Shu raised his monthly silver again, 30 taels of silver per month, which was more than the chief executive in Beijing, and it was a huge sum of money.
After all, Chen Dongqing is now managing a big village, with more and more people in charge, and more things to worry about, which is different from before.
While leaving, the staff dormitory of Baiyu Villa was finally repaired.
Bai Shu went to the county to order a batch of willow furniture and refurbished the dormitory, which was much better than many houses in the village.
Most of these employees of Baiyu Villa have followed him all the way, and they are also very loyal.
Of course Bai Shu would not lose them, and he had to provide them with better conditions in order to keep them loyal.
After all these arrangements were made, Bai Shu felt relieved and concentrated on waiting for Xie Huaiyu's arrival.
On the morning of the sixth day of June, Bai Shu woke up very early.Since last night, he has been tossing and turning, and he didn't sleep well all night.
Proposing marriage is not picking up marriage, Bai Shu naturally does not need to dress up, nor does she need to wear a red wedding dress.
But for such a big event, it is natural not to be sloppy.Even though he kept saying no need, he was pressed down by the maid of Xie's family and combed his hair.After putting on an exquisite sky blue dress again, he is a very handsome little brother.
As soon as he finished combing, he heard Chen Dongqing shouting outside: "Brother Bai, Mr. Xie has arrived!"
Bai Shu was so excited that she didn't even have time to walk through the main entrance, so she turned over from the window sill.
The sixth day of June is a good day to propose marriage. In order to catch up with this auspicious time, Xie Huaiyu deliberately walked slowly all the way and stayed in the county town for one night.
Getting up early in the morning, he rode a horse and entered Baitang Village with a group of guards.
All the villagers in Baitang Village recognized Xie Huaiyu.
They knew that this was the son of the earl's family, and he returned to Beijing a few days ago.I don't know what happened today, but I came back with a team of guards.
These villagers have been with Xie Huaiyu for a year, and they are not as afraid of him as they were at the beginning.
Seeing him coming, someone with good intentions asked: "Young Master Xie, why are you coming back to Baitang Village again? Do you want to come back to live?"
Xie Huaiyu was in a good mood, so he didn't hesitate to explain to him: "I didn't come back to live, I came back to propose marriage."
Hearing him talking about marriage proposal, the villager's eyes widened, thinking he had heard wrongly, and kept repeating: "Tititi... propose marriage?"
"It's indeed a marriage proposal." Xie Huaiyu sat on the horse and said with a smile, "I'm proposing marriage with little brother Bai."
The man opened his mouth wide, with an expression of seeing a ghost.After a while, he spread his legs and ran towards the house, shouting all the way: "Master Xie is back, he is going to propose marriage to Brother Bai! Master Xie is going to propose marriage to Brother Bai!"
The villagers who heard it on the road couldn't believe it for a while.
Everyone scrambled to leave, and those who dragged their families rushed to the direction of Baiyu Villa.
An earl's heir wants to propose marriage in Baitang Village, which is already big news that has never been seen before!What's more, the person who was proposed was still Bai Shu, and that was Bai Shu who couldn't get married before!
When Xie Huaiyu arrived at the gate of Baiyu Villa, there were already many people around the gate.
They were all villagers who had come to meet Xie's family to propose marriage, and their eyes were wide open, looking eagerly at Xie Huaiyu.
Even the village head, Bai Baoshan, came to join in the fun after hearing the words.
The betrothal gift of Chen Dongqing's marriage had already surprised him, the village chief.He was also curious about how much the dowry gift would be as the Xie family's identity!
Bai Shu saw Xie Huaiyu from a distance, he was riding a horse, followed by dozens of strong guards.
Xie Huaiyu lost a lot of weight after being injured. She hasn't seen her for a month, but she has recovered a little, and her complexion seems to be getting better.
He was wearing a black dress, red in black, extremely luxurious, which made his complexion fairer.
This strong outfit is different from the previous toga with long sleeves, it has narrow sleeves for self-cultivation, just like riding a horse, it makes Xie Huaiyu's whole temperament much sharper, but it is even more beautiful.
Xie Huaiyu also saw Baishu standing at the gate of Zhuangzi at a glance.
The other party went to Nanyang for a trip, and the tan was even darker, the skin was honey-colored, and it felt sweet when looking at it, making one couldn't help but want to take a bite.
Bai Shu's hair was combed very neatly today, and she looked a little more energetic, wearing her favorite sky blue shirt.
His eyebrows were long, and his eyes were round and bright. When they met him, they turned into crescent moons, full of affection, which almost melted his heart.
Xie Huaiyu glanced at the crowd and noticed the village head, Bai Baoshan.He smiled, and rode up to Baibaoshan and said, "It's so coincidental, the village chief is here too. Please be a matchmaker for me, and help me find Baishu and propose this marriage.
After speaking, he handed a box to Bai Baoshan, and gave him a dowry list.
Bai Baoshan took those things with a nod and bowed his head, seeing that there was only one box for the betrothal gift, and he didn't know how much it was.
He opened the dowry gift list, and when he saw the amount written on it, he gasped and sweated profusely, even the hands holding the box trembled!
"Six...6 taels of silver?" Bai Baoshan read it several times, for fear that he might have misread it.
He has been operating in Baitang Village all his life, and he can earn more than ten taels of silver a year, which he already thinks is a lot.The 6 taels of silver was an astronomical figure, which made his tongue tied up and he was almost speechless.
When Chen Dongqing saw it, she took the box and the betrothal gift form from Bai Baoshan's hand and said, "Village Chief, or I'll do it for you."
Recently, he helped run the village and handled a large sum of money. He was used to seeing money, so he calmed down a lot.
Hearing this, Bai Baoshan didn't want to hold the hot potato any more, and hastily handed it over.
After Chen Dongqing took it, he said to the yard: "Brother Bai, listen carefully. Mr. Xie has prepared 6 taels of silver for this proposal, a place in the suburb of Beijing, with [-] acres of farmland. , ten acres of mountains and forests, and a shop in Laifulou in the capital. All these properties will be used as your betrothal gift and belong to you, are you willing?"
When the villagers heard the figure of 6 taels, they couldn't help exclaiming!
Some people almost fainted from excitement, as if they had won silver, that was 6 taels!Money that they could not earn in dozens of lifetimes!There are so many fields and shops, even if you eat beef every day, you can't spend it all!
"Yes, yes! I am willing!" Bai Shu nodded hurriedly and said, "I don't know how long I've been waiting, why would I not want to!"
As soon as Bai Shu said this, everyone laughed, and the guards brought by Xie Huaiyu couldn't help but burst out laughing.
They all felt that Bai Shu hated marrying so much, and when they met such a good man as Xie Huaiyu who proposed marriage, they couldn't wait to get married.
Only Xie Huaiyu's eyes were wet. He remembered that he had asked Bai Shu to wait before. Bai Shu said it was fine and he was willing to wait, but until now, this must be his true words.
What a bastard he was, to keep Bai Shu waiting, and he really didn't know how long he had been waiting!
Even if both parties are willing, the marriage proposal is naturally considered a success.
Everyone in Baiyu Villa cheered, and Chen Dongqing took out the candies that he had prepared earlier and distributed them to the onlookers to make them feel happy.
Baibaoshan is on the spot, so there is no need to invite him.
Bai Shu and Xie Huaiyu entered the villa, so they invited him in too.
The four servants in spring, summer, autumn and winter brought out pens and paper smoothly, and asked Bai Baoshan to write documents for them on the spot, and then followed him back to stamp a huge official seal, and the marriage letter was considered notarized.
With this document, Bai Shu is Xie Huaiyu's fiancée, but the real document cannot be processed at this time, and needs to be done in Beijing.
Xie Huaiyu and Bai Shu will be able to hold a wedding ceremony after the approval of the documents from the central Beijing government. By then, they will be a real couple, and no one will be able to say anything!
After doing all this, Baibaoshan was sent back.The guards brought by Xie Huaiyu were arranged to stay overnight in Baiyu Villa.
Wait until tomorrow morning, and then set off for the capital.
The two hadn't seen each other for more than a month. At this time, they retreated from the crowd and returned to the room. They just looked at each other for a long time, wishing they could look at each other more often.
Xie Huaiyu originally felt that she missed Baishu very much, but now that she saw her and hugged her tightly, she felt some real feeling.
The two of them embraced each other, and it was unknown how long they had been warm.
Because it was early summer, the weather was hot, but after a while, the two of them were sweating lightly.
Bai Shu and Xie Huaiyu held hands, remembering that it was about this season when he traveled to Daxuan.
Time flies so fast, a year has passed without realizing it, but Bai Shu always feels that it is only a few months.
After another moment, Bai Shu made a few moves, distanced himself from Xie Huaiyu and said, "The weather is really too hot."
"It's June, it's the beginning of summer, of course." Xie Huaiyu smiled and looked at the scorching sun outside the window.
It's just that even if the weather is so hot, the two are still willing to get tired of being together.
Bai Shu asked someone to bring up a fruit plate, and sat side by side with Xie Huaiyu on the terrace, the two of them ate watermelon with the view.
Xie Huaiyu felt that the azure clothes on Bai Shu's body were really good-looking, and it complemented his fair complexion, so he touched the soft fabric on the clothes.
Bai Zhu ducked back and said, "Hands are dirty, there is watermelon juice, don't stain your clothes."
Seeing this, Xie Huaiyu wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and approached Baishu's ear as if coaxing a child, and whispered, "Don't hide, just let me touch the fabric, okay?"
When Bai Shu heard the words, he really didn't hide at all.He straightened his back docilely and let Xie Huaiyu touch it.
Xie Huaiyu's current cute appearance made Xie Huaiyu feel pity and love, let go of the clothes in his hand, couldn't help but put dense kisses on his face, and only asked if you miss me?
"I miss you so much..." Bai Shu's voice was choked with sobs, but she answered naturally.He is a simple person. If he likes it, he likes it. When he misses it, he misses it. He never hides it.
When Xie Huaiyu heard the words, he felt like a drum was beating in his heart, full of emotions.
This kind of treasure is fortunate to be obtained by myself.Perhaps the charity he did in the past has paid off now.
Bai Shu is so obedient, and only in front of Xie Huaiyu, if Wan Kang from Nanyang sees him, his jaw will drop in shock.
Now that they are a legitimate and unmarried couple, Xie Huaiyu taught Bai Shu how to play a new game in Beijing for a long time.
It's just that Xie Huaiyu wanted to leave that matter to the bridal chamber, but she still didn't do the last big move.
But the previous love alone is enough for the two of them to practice until dawn.
The dinner for Bai Shu and Xie Huaiyu was served in the room.
Bai Zhu had already eaten a full belly of milk, and Xie Huaiyu squeezed it too much, so he was hungry and ate an extra bowl than usual.
But his physique is very good, even if he has consumed so much, he will be a good man again after dinner.
After eating, Bai Zhu put hot water on it, and sat in the bathtub with Xie Huaiyu to take a bath.
He played with Xie Huaiyu in it for a while, and then he came out of the bathtub, and sat with Xie Huaiyu hugging and leaning against each other to watch the moon.
Xie Huaiyu sat in the back, and wiped away Baizhu's wet hair with a cotton handkerchief, then said, "I'm still happy here. Now that you're going back to Beijing with me, I'm both happy and unhappy." I'm afraid I won't have such a good life in the land of tigers and wolves."
"Then we're not leaving, shall we?" Bai Shu was also somewhat reluctant to part with his friends in Baitang Village.
He came here for a year, and finally made these friends, but he was about to leave again.
"Zhongli still can't leave me now." Xie Huaiyu said: "When everything is settled, we will come back to live again. Or live here for the first half of the year, and live in Beijing for the first half of the year, do you think it would be good?"
Bai Shu also knew his difficulties, so he nodded and said: "Okay. We can still live in Nanyang, where Zhuangzi is almost healed, and you can still see the sea. I have long wanted to take you to see it together."
Xie Huaiyu felt very much looking forward to it when he heard it, and happily kissed Bai Shu's earlobe lightly, and nodded.
Early the next morning, Bai Shu packed his luggage and was about to leave with Xie Huaiyu.
He asked Chen Dongqing to move back to Baiyu Villa and help him guard the village.
All the staff in the village came to bid him farewell, and Bai Shu saw Li'er and the three young children of the Wang family also came.
The children were the most emotional. When they heard that Bai Zhu was leaving, they cried.
Li'er rushed over and hugged his waist and said, "Godfather, don't leave. Li'er will take care of you when he grows up!"
Seeing the children crying, the eye sockets of Chen Dongqing and Chun Xia Qiu Dong's brothers were also wet.
Chen Dongqing took Bai Shu's hand and said, "If someone from the Xie family bullies you, you can come back to us. Although we have nothing to do, we will support you even if we do our best!"
Bai Shu laughed when he heard that, and said to them, "Who have you ever seen dare to bully me? It's getting more and more outrageous."
Everyone heard the words and thought about it, and they seemed to be the same, so they relaxed a little, and laughed along with them.
Qin Miaomiao gave Baizhu a small package, which was square and seemed to contain several booklets.
"This is..." Bai Shu glanced at him in confusion.
Qin Miaomiao blinked and said: "This is all my treasures for many years, and now I give it to you. We are waiting for your good news."
Bai Shu was still a little unclear, so Xie Huaiyu coughed twice, stretched out his hand to take the burden, and said to Qin Miaomiao, "Thank you very much."
If he continued to dawdle, he would not be able to leave today, so Bai Shu got on his horse, rode with Xie Huaiyu, and set off to leave.
When the team passed by Xie's old house, Bai Shu and Xie Huaiyu made a detour to see Xiaoshu's grave.
The grave is often taken care of, and it is well maintained. Xie Huaiyu and Bai Zhu stayed in front of it for a while, burned three incense sticks and said, "Little tree, I have proposed marriage with Bai Zhu, I am very happy! Don't worry, go to the grave." I'm not alone anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Shu heard a gust of wind blowing, and a row of mulberry trees not far away rustled.
"He must have heard it, and he is also happy for you." Bai Shu said to Xie Huaiyu.
Xie Huaiyu nodded, and left with Bai Zhu on his arm. Behind the two of them, incense was burning in the breeze, green smoke curled up, and there was a little bright flame from time to time, as if someone was watching their leaving back from afar, and smiled slightly.
After Bai Shu and the others arrived in the county, they stayed for another day.
Bai Shu went to the children's place to have a look, and after explaining well, she left with peace of mind.
Although these children have been wandering for many years, they are not stupid.A few children were even quite intelligent.
Like Yulang, older children learn very quickly, and they should be able to go out to do things in a short time.
Hearing that Baishu was going to the capital, Yulang pestered him to ask if he could bring himself into the capital too. Now he has learned abacus calculation and can read more than 200 characters.
Upon hearing this, Bai Shu laughed and said, "Your ability is not enough now, if you want to help me with something, this ability is not enough, you should study hard."
Yulang was very unwilling and wished he could work harder.
Seeing him like this, Bai Shu thought that if he wanted to open another villa of Baiyu Villa in the suburbs of Beijing in the future, Yulang would be able to help him manage things.
The two continued to set off the next day and arrived in Fucheng.
They didn't stay in Fucheng, they greeted Wanjia, and then chartered a boat and left.
When Wan Ruyi heard that Bai Shu was engaged to Xie Huaiyu, her silver teeth were almost gnawed into pieces.
After sending the two of them away, they cried sadly for a long time, but after they came out, they clamored to go to Nanyang, saying that they were going to help manage Zhuangzi in Nanyang.
After sailing for a day and a night, the boat arrived in the capital at noon the next day.
This is the second time that Baishu has entered Beijing, but it is the first time to enter through the main entrance.
Before Xie Huaiyu, Bai Shu and others entered the city, they rode back all the way back.However, after entering the city, they called a carriage and asked Bai Shu to sit in the carriage.
After all, Bai Shu is only his fiancée now, and the two of them are too close to share a ride together. It is not good to gossip about Bai Shu if someone sees it.
Last time, Bai Shu was stopped by the guards at the gate of the city, and turned over from the city wall.
But this time, Xie Huaiyu directly took out the documents of their marriage contract, and the guard opened the city gate, and registered Bai Shu's name, but the gossip took a few extra glances at the fiancée of the eldest son of the Xie family.
Such a tall and manly elder brother is actually Mr. Xie's fiancée.
Looking at his figure and appearance, if it weren't for the dull cinnabar mole on his forehead, he would be the same as a man.
And the pregnancy mole is so dim, it looks like it is not easy to give birth to.
Seeing Mr. Xie's appearance, he seemed to be very polite to him.
The men secretly thought it was funny when they saw it, and thought that this guy was really lucky.
He also ridiculed Mr. Xie's family, thinking that he was really unlucky. With such a fortune, he had to marry such a wife.Even if the wealth is not as good as his, whoever marries a beautiful lady, or a brother, must be a good child.
However, many girls and brothers on the street don't think so in their hearts.
They had also heard that Xie Huaiyu was going to marry a country bumpkin, and now they saw this legendary bumpkin, and he was actually a brother.
They originally thought that Xie Huaiyu would just put him at home as a pretense when he brought him back.
However, seeing Xie Huaiyu leading Baishu into a carriage, there was no trace of disgust on his face, instead, he was riding a horse by the side of the car window, patiently explaining the customs of various places in Beijing to him from time to time, it is really amazing Treat her like a real fiancée.
They were both envious and bitter in their hearts.
On the one hand, he admired Xie Huaiyu's character, and on the other hand, he was jealous of Bai Shu. He only felt that Xie Huaiyu, such a golden husband-in-law, was actually taken over by this country boy.
The author has something to say: Xie Huaiyu: Xiaoshu, I have proposed marriage with Baishu, I am very happy!
Xiaoshu (using the power of his soul to angrily blow a gust of wind, hitting the faces of both of them): MMP, I'm dead, and I still need to watch you throw dog food in front of me!
