Because Qin Sheng's wedding is approaching, everyone can't help but talk about this happy event.

At the request of the Queen Mother, the marriage of the Qin and Lu families was to be completed within two months. Originally, their wedding was scheduled for the fifty-sixth day after the decree was issued. This date is still a few days away from two months.

The Chinese New Year is approaching, and they entered the New Year almost as soon as they got married.

It has been a month since the Empress Dowager's marriage decree was issued, and the Qin family has not hired the Lu family yet. It is not because they don't pay attention to it. On the contrary, it is precisely because they attach great importance to it that they work slowly and carefully.

After the Queen Mother's marriage decree was issued, the Zhao family returned the betrothal gift they had given previously. The old Qin family couldn't use this betrothal gift to directly marry the Lu family, right? This was too rude.

Therefore, they did not use the betrothal gift they had previously prepared for the Zhao family. Many items in it were replaced by items of equal value. However, after a month of busy work, the betrothal gift was almost ready. It will be ready in a few days.

I went to the Lu family to hire someone.

"The items you brought back are just a few to add to the betrothal gift." Mrs. Qin said to Qin Silang.

Qin Silang nodded. Among the goods he brought back, some of the furs and gems were of the highest quality. If used as betrothal gifts, they would be most honorable.

"Mother, eldest brother, third brother and sister-in-law, Ah Sheng, I am too late to attend the wedding, and I can't wait to see my nephew or niece born. I have decided to take them away early tomorrow morning." Qin Silang said with a look on his face.

said.

He and the music he brought back rested for a day and a night, which was enough.

As soon as Qin Silang said these words, the entire hall suddenly became extremely quiet.

"Fourth brother, you are injured." Qin Sheng was always thinking about this.

Qin Silang laughed, "It's really not a problem. Didn't you hire a doctor for me? Just ask him to give me some medicine."

Mrs. Qin was very sad, "Silang, can't you wait until you are hired before leaving? Meet Xiaoliu and his wife, and then your father, second brother and third brother will ask you. You also have something to say."

"No, the days are long, and there will always be time for the family to meet each other." Qin Silang said with a smile, "Dad asked me to come back this time because he wanted me to see the house with my own eyes and see how you are, mother. Now I see the family at home.

Everyone and everything are going well, Dad is relieved, and we can also be at ease."

The war was tense. There had been heavy snowfall outside the Great Wall for two consecutive months this year. The Xianbei, Wuhuan, Shanxu and other tribes went south to plunder, and they were extremely ferocious. He had to rush back.

The three brothers Qin Heng, Qin Sanlang, and Qin Sheng did not speak, but each of them had solemn expressions. No need for Silang to say anything, they could already imagine the danger involved.

This winter is full of heavy snow and extremely cold. It is still the same in Chang'an City, but in the north, it will only be even more severe and severe.

They really wanted to go back to the north to help, but they couldn't leave.

"Brother, why don't I go with the fourth child tomorrow?" Qin Sanlang said.

Nie Yunniang's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, but she put her hands on her tall belly to suppress the words that came to her lips.

Qin Heng shook his head and refused his request. The third brother and sister were about to give birth, and their overall mental state was not very good. It was better for her that San Lang was here.

Qin Sanlang knew that the anxiety in his elder brother's heart would not be less than his, but he had to stay and stay in Chang'an City to preside over Xiaoliu's wedding. For one thing, this was a marriage granted by the Queen Mother, and he couldn't be too negligent. If they were not here,

, if only the mother presides over the wedding, it is not giving the Empress Dowager a favor. Secondly, their father Qin Yue is not here, and the eldest brother is like a father. The eldest brother can replace their biological father. If the eldest brother is not even here, it is disrespectful to the Lu family. This

The wedding will definitely be laughed at.

Qin Sheng also pursed his lips tightly.

When I think about it, there are still about twenty days before the wedding...

"Brother, why don't we discuss with the Lu family and advance the wedding date?" Qin Sanlang suggested.

The Empress Dowager ordered that the Qin and Lu families must get married within two months. If it is not possible to postpone it, then it should be possible to advance it, right? After several contacts, Qin Sanlang found that the Lu family was not an unreasonable family, so he told them carefully,

It should be fine, right?

As long as Ah Sheng gets married successfully, the eldest brother and Ah Sheng can go north to support. If Yun Niang also gives birth in this half month, the three brothers can set off together...

No matter what, if they get married as soon as possible, at least two people from their family can go north to support him, which will greatly relieve the pressure on his father.

Qin Heng pondered for a moment and asked Mrs. Qin, "Mom, what do you think?"

Mrs. Qin nodded and said, "You can give it a try. But let's make an agreement first. If the Lu family agrees, it will be reasonable. We, the Qin family, can't neglect them just because we are in a hurry. We all have all the etiquette that a wedding should have."

There should be."

Qin Heng said, "That's for sure." They are not the kind of people who push their noses and face.

Qin Sheng also nodded solemnly.

"I feel wronged Ah Li." Mrs. Qin sighed. She was very satisfied with Lu Songli, her little daughter-in-law.

Speaking of Lu Songli, Mrs. Qin couldn't help but think of the pills that her youngest son sent back a few days ago, saying that they were given by her future daughter-in-law. After taking them, she felt much better in the past two days. First of all, she slept peacefully at night.

, I slept very deeply, unlike before where I slept very lightly and was easily awakened. In addition, my breathing became much smoother, and I no longer felt chest tightness and shortness of breath.

When Qin Sheng heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Qin Heng and others were a little surprised. They didn't expect Lu Songli to help them so much. Their future sister-in-law is indeed very good.

Mrs. Qin was in poor health and fell ill from time to time, which gave the Qin family a headache. Unexpectedly, the pills she sent were effective for their mother. I guess she had some strange encounters with her, but she didn't know that these pills could work.

Can’t supply it all the time?

…

The next day, the Qin family saw Qin Silang off together.

On the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, it is appropriate to receive gifts, collect taxes, and get married.

Early in the morning, the Qin family came to the Lu family to hire someone. Mrs. Qin and Qin Heng came in person with Qin Sheng and an official mediator.

The Lu family knew that the Qin family had been preparing for the betrothal gift this month. They replaced the betrothal gift returned by the Zhao family with objects of the same level or higher-level objects. The time was short and the task was heavy, which was not easy, so there was no reason to be offended.

Therefore, this betrothal gift from the Qin family shows that it is a good choice, nothing too outstanding, but it has its own merits.

After careful comparison, you will find that the object still has the same name, that is, the value of the entire betrothal gift is 30% higher than what was previously given to the Zhao family. You must know that Zhao Yutan is the eldest daughter of a third-rank official, and her dowry,

Even if it is only fifty thousand taels, the betrothal gift given by the Qin family cannot be too far apart in value.

Lu Songli is now only the second daughter of the fifth-rank censor. Even if the Qin family directly uses the betrothal gift returned by the Zhao family, it is okay. But the Qin family does not.

Nowadays, when the Qin family's betrothal gift is given, what do you call it? It's called a low-key slap in the face.

Of all the betrothal gifts, Lu Songli's favorite was the three furs at the beginning, a snow fox fur, a muskrat fur, and a sable fur. Especially the sable fur, the fur was light, long, narrow, and soft.

Brown, with silver-white guard hairs evenly mixed in, this is the top-grade sable fur.

Lu Songli stroked it gently.

"Like it?" Qin Sheng asked.

Lu Songli nodded, these three furs were the best furs she had ever seen.

The winter here is extremely cold, even colder than in later generations, probably because of the low carbon dioxide emissions. And there are very few measures to keep warm. Don’t even think about down jackets, cotton jackets, cashmere coats, etc. for the winter. Sent by the Qin family

These pieces of leather would be very warm and beautiful if made into clothes.
