Chapter 159: Marriage
Because I was not sure if it was done by Liu Wenli, I could only be on guard first and wait until the investigation results were obtained before talking.
Chu Tiankuo brought the topic back to the marriage.
"Zhixia, I am twenty-five this year and am not young anymore. Marquis of Weiwu and Uncle Lin have been urging me to get married as soon as possible. Now, my father is here too. Why don't we get married as soon as possible?"
Chu Tiankuo thought of shooting while the iron was hot. Now Zhixia has no feelings for herself, and she has no feelings for others.
It’s better to be by your side and cultivate your feelings so that you can feel relieved.
Jiang Zhixia finally had the consciousness of being a girl at this time and nodded shyly.
"In theory, the matchmakers of both sides need to be connected by the matchmaker. However, I would rather ask you what you think in person. When we have made up our minds, will we find a matchmaker to go through the process?"
In order to get married, Chu Tiankuo had already learned about all the procedures with the matchmaker and knew much more than Jiang Zhixia.
When he saw Jiang Zhixia nodding, he continued, "I occupy half of the alley in Anruo Lane. Can you see, we can live there?"
Jiang Zhixia had no objection to this, so she nodded.
"As for servants, some of my subordinates are currently in the front yard. Other servants are waiting for marriage and you can buy them. Your servants are arranged by you, whether to take them over or put them in the house here."
"Uncle He and his family are both loyal. Ruolan is an official slave and cannot escape the contract. I probably have to follow me. Uncle He and his friends see if they want to stay here or follow me. I can't do much, but I am willing to follow their opinions within my ability. Last time I asked about the release of the contract. They didn't want to release the contract. They lived a hard life in the village. I felt that being a slave was better than being free."
Jiang Zhixia was amused and crying about this.
For her, freedom is the most valuable. However, for many civilians today, a good life is more important.
Uncle He and his friends lived in a difficult situation in the village. Now, there is only one young daughter left and cannot be admitted to the imperial examination. Therefore, the lintel of the family is no longer important.
They feel that the work they do is easier now than in their hometown, and they live better than in their hometown, so they don’t have to worry about anything, and they don’t want to get out of the relationship.
"That's because you are a good master. If you meet a master who always beats and scolds him, do you think they want to get rid of the contract quickly?"
Chu Tiankuo looked at Jiang Zhixia lovingly. Zhixia is kind-hearted.
Then, Chu Tiankuo continued with a little embarrassed expression: "Actually, since the engagement, I have arranged for someone to repaint the house. My house has not been living in a few times a year, and it has been empty and a bit dilapidated. Now, the house has been painted. Even the furniture has been packed. Before getting married, I will ask someone to bring it over, and you must not buy it again."
Jiang Zhixia was left stunned.
This past month, she had never seen Chu Tiankuo come over, and she thought he had been in the military camp and had no rest.
"My family has a simple population, only my father and I. There is no idle person to talk about it. After getting married, you can do the arrangement as you want. If you don't like the furniture, you can re-made it. If these are made, put in another room. There are many empty houses. Then the yard will be the two of us in the future. If you don't like it, you will be the one who is uncomfortable in the future."
Chu Tiankuo reminded Jiang Zhixia again.
Jiang Zhixia was a little surprised this time. The house can be arranged according to her own wishes, but it is the best thing to do.
A simple family looks like a sensible and kind father-in-law who loves the object they like.
Wow, this married life should look good.
Jiang Zhixia's heart became a little more distorted because of these.
"The most recent auspicious days are twenty-two and twenty-six. Today is eighteen. Twenty-two is too fast. Can you see if I come to the throne for 26?"
After receiving the news that his father was about to arrive, Chu Tiankuo took the calendar to find a fortune teller and chose a lot of auspicious days.
Today is already eighteen. Twenty-two is too rush, so you can prepare for the twenty-six in eight days.
Jiang Zhixia nodded. Since the basic things have been settled, it doesn’t matter what else.
"How about choosing the day of marriage on the ninth day of the ninth month? It means long-lasting."
In order to get married, Chu Tiankuo has read all the almanacs.
"Is this a little too fast?" Jiang Zhixia hesitated. Why is this marriage so rush?
"It's a bit rushed. But to be honest, we are not young anymore. And it's not as troublesome as the family. So although we're busy, the days are always chosen based on the eight characters."
Chu Tiankuo hurriedly explained that he was eager to justify the truth.
"This flash marriage is not so flashy? The gifts start on the second day of the seventh month. By the ninth day of the nineth month, it is only two months, and you are going to get married?" Jiang Zhixia hesitated and said his thoughts.
"Although we only started to go to the ceremony in July this year, we met last year. In short, we have known each other for more than a year. You know my personality. Besides, we are really older to our elders."
Chu Tiankuo racked his brains to persuade him.
Jiang Zhixia thought about it and forgot, she didn't expect to fall in love in ancient times. That's it. So she nodded.
"The woman needs an elder to come forward to help with the wedding. You don't have any elders here. I want to ask Mrs. Lin to help you. Can you see?"
After all, getting married is a big deal. No matter how capable Zhixia is, she has no reason to manage her own wedding, so she still needs a respected elder to take charge of the matter.
Jiang Zhixia nodded, "I like Mrs. Lin very much."
While thinking about what else to do in the marriage, Chu Tiankuo replied to Jiang Zhixia: "Mrs. Lin is indeed a kind elder. Although she is a lady from the official family, she does not have the spoiledness of a lady at all. When we were in the border town, we loved to go to her house to play the most. Unfortunately, she only had sons and no daughters, and her mother-in-law was no longer alive, so she could not comb your hair when she got married."
Jiang Zhixia looked at Chu Tiankuo, a big man, and was chattering about the wedding, and felt a little guilty out of thin air.
Are you too rational?
There should still be good men in this world? The blind date partner who avoids difficulties and the father who finds his wife after less than 100 days of his death should be an exception?
Should I trust him more?
Jiang Zhixia's heart was shaken for a rare moment.
"I'll go to the home of the general in the military to look for a kind person who is healthy, has both children, is healthy, and has a harmonious husband and wife. It's not difficult to find a lucky person. It's really difficult to find someone with respect and a noble status. But don't worry, I will definitely find it before we get married."
Chu Tiankuo murmured to himself, and explained to Jiang Zhixia.
"Brother Chu, don't be so troublesome, right? I'm not a person who cares about etiquette. Whether the two of them will live well in the future will not be polite."
Seeing Chu Tiankuo so carefully, Jiang Zhixia couldn't help but say.
The wedding in the previous life has been much simplified. Although she doesn’t understand the wedding customs of this life, she doesn’t think it’s necessary to be so troublesome.
She was alone anyway, and she had no family or family to choose.
"This is not a problem. The three books and six rituals of marriage, three media and six hirings are etiquettes since ancient times. I have been married this time in my life. How can I not be solemn?" Chu Tiankuo said seriously.
Seeing that Chu Tiankuo was so serious and formal, Jiang Zhixia stopped talking.
Forget it, for nothing, this is also the first wedding in her past and present life. With her personality, it is probably the only wedding.
Then let’s follow Chu Tiankuo’s arrangements.
