Before Shangguan Yu came to propose marriage, the Bai family would not announce the news of Bai Ling's engagement to the public, but they still had to make preparations.
Outsiders didn't know and thought it was a distinguished guest from the Bai family who was coming. Others speculated that there was a happy event in the Bai family. Since Bai Xiaoshan had just become an official and Bai Liu had not yet given birth, it could only be twin daughters.
The marriage is near.
For a time, there were many speculations from the outside world, and attention was paid to the Bai family, fearing that they would miss the opportunity to make good friends.
It wasn't until Shangguan Yu came to the house with an official matchmaker and a gift of selection that the outside world knew that the upstart Bai family was going to be in-laws with the Han Palace.
No matter what the situation is in the capital, the famous nobles who hold fiefdoms in the Han Palace, as well as officials and wealthy gentry, all have to pay attention to this matter, otherwise they will slap the Han Palace in the face and never think about having a good life in the future.
Because the two parties involved were in love, the two elders also met in the capital.
Therefore, the invitation, the name inquiry, and the acceptance were all completed on the same day, the marriage certificate was exchanged, and the letter of engagement was left. Ten days later there was an engagement banquet, and the two officially became an unmarried couple.
Considering that the distance between the palace of the Han Dynasty and the appointment of the engagement date was too far, Shangguan Yu went directly to the door with the betrothal gift and the gift letter, and took care of all the matters of collecting the betrothal and applying for the date. The only thing left was to do it when the wedding day came.
When you bring the welcome letter to welcome you in person, the process of these three letters and six etiquettes is officially completed.
"Daughter, looking at these gifts of selection, you will know that the prince is really serious about you. The engagement day is coming soon, and the family is very busy. You can't show your face like before, so just stay with me.
In your house, this is for your good reputation and to show face to your husband's family, so you are not allowed to do anything random."
Mrs. Bai Liu was afraid that Bai Ling wouldn't be able to stay, so she had to talk to her.
Bai Ling felt a headache at the thought of staying in the house for ten days, but he also knew that this was the rule of this era and he simply couldn't refuse.
"Mom, I just want to raise the baby with peace of mind. I've been staying in the house these past few days to research new prescriptions. Mom can't even let me do this, otherwise I won't be able to stay." Bai Ling fought for his own interests.
In fact, it's not very difficult to be in the house. The worst I can do is go to the space to read medical books. I happen to be too busy recently, so I think it's a break.
But Bai Ling was afraid that if she didn't explain clearly, Mrs. Bai Liu would ask her to embroider the dowry, which would require her fingers to be pricked.
Moreover, people often come in and disturb me, and I can't stop being in the space. It's better to retreat directly.
"You!" She tapped Bai Ling's forehead twice hard, and Bai Liu said with hatred: "I don't know how you developed your current temperament! It means that the prince is spoiling you, how can it be possible?
A bride who does not embroider her dowry herself is not afraid of being laughed at."
"Mom, you have wronged me. For a true aristocrat, you can embroider your wedding dress yourself, or you can hire an embroiderer with a lot of money. It is a symbol of status. Besides, I left the embroidery work for my eldest sister, who has already started the work.
When the time comes, my mother will definitely praise me for my cleverness."
Afraid that Bai Liu would teach him another lesson, Bai Ling hurriedly said coquettishly: "I have a specialization in the art, so Mom can't lecture me anymore. After all, I don't have a head and six arms, so I can't do everything well. Mom, please be considerate to me, okay?"
"It's as if my own mother has treated you harshly!" Bai Liu didn't know whether she should teach her daughter something according to the rules. She thought that Bai Ling was indeed excellent and the Han Palace didn't care about it. After all, she kept her words of advice.
They all swallowed it back.
Bai Xing hurriedly stepped forward to help Bai Ling, holding Bai Liu's arm and saying: "Mom, we all have embroiderers in our family, and we occasionally go to buy ready-made clothes. In places like the Hanwang Palace, there are more embroiderers.
There is no need for the master to do it himself. The second sister will be the imperial concubine in the future, and there are rules for dressing. If you don't do it well, you will be laughed at."
"Okay, you sisters are of the same mind. As a mother, I have nothing to worry about, right?"
After Bai Liu finished speaking, she stood up with Bai Xing's help, but she said to Bai Ling: "Daughter, I know you don't like Nuhong. But when you get married, every woman has to do something for her man.
, even if it’s a pair of socks or a purse, that’s still your intention, right?”
"Haha, I know, mother, I'll do it when I have time." Bai Ling chuckled, thinking about the half-finished products in the space, and suddenly felt his head hurt.
It's not that Bai Ling is so stupid that he can't even make simple things, but that thing is not worthy of Shangguan Yu's status. It would be really embarrassing to wear it everywhere.
Bai Xing looked at the troubled Bai Ling and snickered. She didn't dare to say anything to hit Bai Ling anymore, and helped Bai Liu to leave.
Falling on the embroidery bed, Bai Ling spread his face out in a large shape without any image, and muttered: "If I had known, I should have learned to be a female celebrity for a few days, now I would be embarrassed."
"The purse Ling'er made looks good to my husband." Shangguan Yu's voice suddenly sounded.
Bai Ling sat up suddenly and saw Shangguan Yu leaning on the bedside, looking at him and smiling, and subconsciously smoothed her skirt.
It was a bit embarrassing to be seen by Shangguan Yu while relaxing in the room.
Bai Ling is now completely a woman in love and cares about her image in front of her lover.
"Why did you come in? Didn't you say you were going to live in the county town temporarily?" Bai Ling asked.
"After walking for a while, I couldn't bear to come all the way without seeing you and talking to you, so I turned back. Is Ling'er happy?" Shangguan Yu pretended not to notice Bai Ling's embarrassment and smiled.
asked.
"Now that I see it, you can go. You have been on the road for many days, so take a good rest. If you come to propose marriage with such a big fanfare, it is estimated that many people will come to visit you. When we wait for the engagement..."
Bai Ling originally wanted to say goodbye when the engagement was made, but he thought that ancient rules did not allow meeting during the engagement, so he had to change his mind and said: "It's not too late to see you again after the engagement. It's not too long since we were separated, so I don't miss you very much."
"Seriously?" Shangguan Yu raised his eyebrows and asked with his arms folded across his chest.
"I don't really miss you, but I also miss you." Bai Ling said frankly.
"But I miss Ling'er very much, and I understand more and more the meaning of not seeing each other for one day, like three autumns after another. What should I do?" Shangguan Yu asked.
Bai Ling blinked and realized that he, a modern soul with no love experience, seemed not as good at romance as Shangguan Yu, an ancient pure native.
"I've given you my blessing. You can miss me very much, so please thank me." Bai Ling sat cross-legged, looking like an old lady.
Shangguan Yu pursed his lips and smiled, made a salute, and said politely: "Thank you very much, Miss, for the gift. I just miss you so much. I wonder if Miss will be kind enough to give you the antidote in the guest house?"
"I can't help but love you forever. Unless we end our love, would you like..." Before Bai Ling could finish his words, he was thrown onto the bed by Shangguan Yu.
Even though the bed was very thick, Bai Ling still heard a bang, which frightened her and made her heart beat faster.
"Are you crazy? You're so scary!" Bai Ling complained.
"Ling'er, even if it's just a joke, don't say that, I'm afraid of what might happen." Brushing away the broken hair from Bai Ling's ears, he said in a gentle but extremely serious voice: "In this life, even if you die, you will never have love.
Ling'er, please don't joke about this matter in the future, otherwise your husband will punish you."
"Punishment?" Bai Ling was curious, "Are you willing to do it?"
Pecking Bai Ling's pink lips, Shangguan Yu lowered his voice and said in his ear: "This time, remember first, after we get married, Ling'er will know what the punishment for being a husband is, and I'm sure Ling'er will also like it."
"Rogue!" Bai Ling's pink cheeks turned red. She raised her hand to push Shangguan Yu away, but there were some inappropriate scenes playing in her mind. (To be continued)
