Chapter 167
Getting married early
After Jiang Ning showed his skills, several officials' ladies were obviously more polite to her. After all, they had never seen others so beautifully admit that they were a tigress. This tigress was so unreasonable. What if one of them was unhappy to attack them?
Their small bodies couldn't stand Jiang Ning's palm.
In contrast, Qin Xiao looked at Jiang Ning with a doting face, feeling that she was so confident that she was really cute when she admitted that she was a tigress.
Seeing Qin Xiao’s reaction, several officials’ ladies were speechless.
In the past, they questioned why Qin Xiao fell in love with Jiang Ning?
Now they think this is probably the legendary carrot and sauerkraut, everyone has their own preferences.
Don't know why?
After Jiang Ning showed his strength, several officials' ladies always felt that it was not safe. After a lawsuit was made between each other, one of the officials' ladies took the lead in going back to the front hall. Jiang Ning did not stop her. She asked Qin Xiao to go back to the house to continue recuperation and took them to the front hall.
In the front hall, the princess of Zhennan was feeling impatient. Seeing Jiang Ning coming back with a few ladies from the official family, she showed a little fatigue at the right time.
These wives of the officials are very eye-catching. Seeing her like this, they immediately find a reason to say goodbye.
The Princess of Zhennan said a few words to everyone and stood up to see him off.
After everyone left, the Princess of Zhennan sighed that she was really old and no longer liked to be lively. It was rare that there were so many people at home, and she felt it was noisy and annoying.
Madam Xu laughed and said, "It is generally said that the older you are, the more you love the fun. Madam, you don't like the fun, just so you are still young~"
Jiang Ning echoed: "Helloing these unfamiliar people is really more tiring than me going into the mountains to hunt."
The Princess of Zhennan wanted to 'curse' Madam Xu to deceive herself with a slick mouth. When she heard Jiang Ning say this, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Why don't you say that it's not that the whole family doesn't come in?"
After saying that, the Princess of Zhennan picked out some of the gifts brought by the official wives today and gave them to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning waved his hand and didn't want to.
Princess of Zhennan asked Jiang Ning to accept it: "There are many gold and silver jewelry they gave for young girls, which were originally prepared for you."
Jiang Ning: "I don't like to wear these things. If you really want to give them to me, give me that box of pearls. I see that pearls are pretty. Whether they are used to play with them or rewards on weekdays, they will have no money in the future, and they can still exchange them for silver~"
Princess Zhennan was amused by Jiang Ning: "Your hobby is quite real. I remember that there are still a few boxes of pearls in the warehouse of the royal palace. Madam Xu, go find the few boxes of pearls and give them to her."
Jiang Ning waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I don't have much expenses on weekdays, I don't need that much, and I still have money~"
The Princess of Zhennan ignored Jiang Ning's refusal and directly signaled to Madam Xu.
Madam Xu took the order and quickly brought a few boxes of pearls.
The quality of these boxes of pearls is very good, especially one of them, which is big, round and beautiful, and is said to be admired by the palace.
Jiang Ning said no, but his hands were honestly stretched out.
Realizing that his hands and mouth were a little bit divided, Jiang Ning felt embarrassed and said, "The elders give me, I must not say anything. Since it is your wish of aunt, Ning'er will live up to your wishes."
The Princess of Zhennan nodded with a smile: "Take it, anyway, after you get married, you will have your own items in the Princess of Zhennan."
Jiang Ning was a little embarrassed to be said and went to Qin Xiao with Pearl in his arms.
Seeing that Jiang Ning likes pearls, Qin Xiao said that after getting married, he took her to the southern border, which is close to the sea and produces pearls. At that time, he would take her to the beach to pick up pearl shells.
Jiang Ning was immediately interested when he heard this: "Can you tell the Ministry of Rites to advance our wedding?"
Previously, the Ministry of Rites chose a few good days for Qin Xiao to choose. Qin Xiao told Jiang Ning about the days and asked Jiang Ning to choose. Jiang Ning chose the days for next year's Xiaoxue solar term.
This day is the latest of several days. The reason why Jiang Ning chose it was because he felt that he could get married a little later if he was young, and because it happened to be her sixteenth birthday.
She was born on the Xiaoxue solar term, but the days of the Xiaoxue solar term are not fixed. Next year's Xiaoxue solar term coincides with the day she was born, which makes Jiang Ning feel that this is fate.
Qin Xiao was unhappy about Jiang Ning's choice at first, but later he agreed after hearing Jiang Ning's reason.
Now seeing that Jiang Ning wants to advance the wedding, Qin Xiao is naturally happy. After lunch, Jiang Ning goes home, so Qin Xiao asks Xu Yuan to arrange a carriage to go out and go straight to the Ministry of Rites.
After the people from the Ministry of Rites knew his purpose, they immediately asked the person responsible for counting his days to receive Qin Xiao.
The official in charge of calculating the days asked Qin Xiao which day he wanted to advance the wedding?
Qin Xiao: "The faster the better."
The official responsible for counting the days: "?"
Didn’t you look like you were not in a hurry before?
He sent three days before, one was December this year, one was February next year, and the other was October next year. As a result, Qin Xiao chose the latest October next year.
How long has it been?
Why did your attitude change?
Seeing that the official responsible for counting the days did not move, Qin Xiao urged him to help him choose.
The official responsible for calculating the days came back to his senses and told Qin Xiao that if he wanted to choose a very, very good auspicious day, then choose one of the three days he gave before. If he didn't want to choose between these three days, as long as he chose a small happy day, then there would be more days, and there would be a suitable date for marriage almost every month.
Qin Xiao was also impatient. When he heard the official in charge of counting his days, he immediately asked if this month was OK?
The official who counted the days was about to say that it was not possible, because Jiang Ning's wedding dress was not ready yet, but he heard Qin Xiao say that it was not possible. The reason was that this month was too urgent, and it would not be too late to invite Jiang Ning's parents over.
"Then let's go next month. Are there any suitable days in the late next month?"
The official who counted the days silently, looked through the calendar for a while and told Qin Xiao: "The 28th next month will be a good day."
Qin Xiao made the final decision: "Then let's go on the 28th next month."
The official who counted the days twitched: "Although the Ministry of Rites has been preparing for it, because the days were set a long time ago, and everyone was not very busy at work, so most of the wedding matters were not ready, and your wedding day has been reported. If you want to change it now, you have to get the emperor's consent~"
Qin Xiao: "It's okay, I'll tell the emperor that I'll ask you and your colleagues to help me work overtime for more than a month. I will definitely thank everyone when I look back..."
Before the official who had been counting on the day could speak, Qin Xiao turned around and rushed to the palace.
