Fang's aunt heard it and praised: "This Jing Rui is a caring person. When you get married in the future, your life will be sweet."
Yun Yi's face was a little shy, and she smiled slightly: "Then borrow my aunt's good words."
The two of them were talking, and their hands started to get busy.
After a while, the head of the Xiao family also sent several daughters-in-law from the family to help. After all, the other side members of the Xiao family were convicted because of them. Although their son was also counted, it was also because he was stupid, and now he can only suffer. on.
What Xiao Renli said before is not wrong. After all, they owe the rest of the Xiao family, and now they can only help as much as they can. It can be regarded as atonement.
The work here is in full swing, and Jing Rui is also preparing non-stop.
When it was time, Jing Rui brought Cao Qianhu over with him, followed by the brothers who were carrying the dowry.
Cao Qianhu entered the door and saw Xiao Wanshan, the head of the Xiao family, and clasped his fists and said, "This official was asked by someone to propose marriage and hire him. This is the first time this official has been a matchmaker in his life. Please bear with me."
The people in the courtyard were going to kneel, but Cao Qianhu stopped them: "Today, the officials came here as matchmakers to propose marriage, make appointments, and drink betrothal wine. You don't need to be too polite or cautious."
Jing Rui and the others were followed by a lot of people who came to watch the fun. Xiao Chenrui got the order of his sister and brought out the prepared caramel to share with the people who came to join in the fun, making everyone feel happy.
Anyway, things have already been settled, and today is just a cut-off. Cao Qianhu and the head of the Xiao family quickly negotiated the matter.

Jing Rui asked people to open the betrothal gifts. In addition to the tea, wine, sugar, wedding cakes, noodles, rice, fish, and meat, he also prepared a set of silver jewelry and a set of gold jewelry. A pair of hairpins, a pair of step shakes, a pair of earrings and a pair of bracelets.
This is definitely not a big deal in the capital, but it is really a big deal in this northern border.
Being able to buy these is still the reward silver that the commander sent Cao Qianhu to bring back last time. I have a heart, so yesterday Yunyi said that they are engaged today, but Jing Rui did not object.
Soon the two exchanged Geng Tie, the marriage was settled, and the two could finally communicate in a justifiable and upright manner in the future.
After , the wine and food were served, and there was a lively exchange of cups and cups. You came and went, but the Xiao family and the Jing family were all black-faced.

He was even more worried than the Jing family, because the dozen or so people under his command didn't agree with him at all. They beat him and couldn't beat those people. They were really angry to death.
