Chapter 534: Door-to-door marriage proposal
Although Xiao Yu was comforted, he still felt uneasy and told Nanny Xu, "Don't wait another two days. Go back tomorrow and see what her family says."
mammy Xu Yifu said, "I know, I will make another trip early tomorrow morning."
Early the next morning, Nanny Xu took the car to Gu's house again.
Gu Fei was detained at home by her mother and was not allowed to go to the inn.
As soon as Aunt Xu arrived, Gu Fei knew that she was too embarrassed to go out in the house.
Mr. Chen met Nanny Xu, drank a few cups of tea, chatted a few words, and then agreed to get married.
Mother Xu got a satisfactory result and quickly returned to the palace to resume her duties.
She knew that the prince was still waiting for her!
After Xiao Yu got the news, he rode his horse to the military camp.
The princess started to get busy here. She wanted to prepare some gifts, and also sent people to find official matchmakers. Several matchmakers were called, and the princess personally selected the one who looked likeable and spoke clearly.
A few days later, after the princess had taken care of herself, the matchmaker came to her door.
The people in the palace had already sent a message to Chen to inform her of the day when the matchmaker would come. The house was tidied up neatly, and she even went to the city to buy a set of extremely expensive fine porcelain tea sets and a few taels of good tea.
This was something Lanzhi brought up, saying that it was the coarse porcelain tea set at home, and the tea leaves were not allowed to be placed on the countertop, so in order not to embarrass Xiao Fei, it had to be replaced.
Ms. Chen is not short of money now. She hasn't spent much more than a thousand taels of silver selling chili peppers.
Happily bought it.
On this day, everyone in the family changed into silk and satin clothes and waited for the matchmaker to come.
The princess prepared a cart of gifts, and the matchmaker said many auspicious words. Chen received the gifts, walked through the ceremony, and gave the red paper with Gu Fei's name and birthday to the matchmaker. The matchmaker took the red paper and left.
This wedding process is considered to be one-third complete.
Next, the man has to do the horoscope calculation, and those who are particular about it will not only ask someone to do the horoscope calculation, but also have a divination in the ancestral hall.
Only after that can the official offer be made.
After the matchmaker left, Mrs. Chen summoned all the servants in the family for the first time, including Lanzhi and Li Chunhua. Then she solemnly said: "I have to keep my mouth shut about Xiao Fei's marriage. I can't say a word now." No one is allowed to tell anyone."
"If I find out, whoever leaks the news outside, I don't have to say anything, they will all be sold."
Ms. Chen is sure this time, this marriage is not considered an engagement before the engagement is officially announced.
She always felt that the pie in the sky had fallen so big that she couldn't believe it, so she kept it secret for now. Even if there were any changes later, no one knew, and that didn't matter.
From now on, it will not affect Xiao Fei’s marriage.
The people saw that the always kind mistress had said harsh words, and everyone hurriedly agreed.
Ms. Chen waved her hand to let them disperse, and then discussed with Lanzhi what preparations needed to be made to marry into the prince's palace.
Lanzhi knew a little bit, so she said, "Mom, the most important thing is to buy some servants for training first. When the time comes, select some loyal ones for Xiao Fei to take to the palace."
“You don’t know, if there are not a few people of your own in a big family, you will be blind and deaf. If you are bullied, no one will come back to report the news.”
Mrs. Chen heard that it made sense. Although the palace was noble, if he really bullied her daughter, she would bring her sons to the door.
She nodded repeatedly, "Buy it, and let Zhu Zhu drive the car later. You and Aunt Qin go to Nanshi to pick up more people. It's still early to get married. The servants you bought will know their temperament after watching them at home for half a year." , take all the good ones away to Xiao Fei.”
