Queen's New Clothes

Chapter 82
Not long after returning from Mingjue Temple, people from Prince Jin's Mansion came to Su Manor to discuss the wedding date.

This time it was Jin Princess Yuan who came in person.Although Yuan shi had some complaints about this marriage, after all, it was a marriage bestowed by the emperor, and she couldn't refute the emperor's face, so this time she came to the door with a smile on her face, and they had a good chat.

Because the old man had only been three years old on the ninth day of August, the two families counted the horoscopes of Su Xi and Wei Wei.The Yin family wanted to stay with Su Xi for a while longer, but the Prince Jin's Mansion looked like they wanted to get married as soon as possible. In the end, the two families combined and set the date on the sixth day of October.

The sixth day of October is a good day for marriage and groundbreaking.

After seeing off the people from the Jin Palace, Yin regretted and said: "Are you too anxious on the sixth day of October? It's already March, and you haven't had time to prepare the dowry yet."

Elder Master Su Zhen shook her hand lightly, and comforted him: "Didn't you listen to Princess Jin? The son of King Jin is already twenty-two this year, so you should be anxious."

Yin sighed and said: "But we are young and young." She originally wanted to keep her daughter for a year or two longer.It is said that the daughter is the mother's caring little padded jacket, and when she thinks that her little padded jacket will be posted to someone else in the future, she can't express her reluctance.

Since the wedding date was set, Su Xi no longer needed to go to school to study, and followed Yin's family to learn about accounting and general affairs at home every day.Su Xi's mind is flexible, and he has also learned arithmetic in school, so he can do it very quickly.Yin showed her the family's account books for the second half of last year to have a look. She went back and read them only one night, and then picked out three problems, and was able to infer other cases from one instance.

Yin Shi nodded in satisfaction.The Su family also has its own Zhuangzi and shop outside. Su Xi has been studying for more than a month. Seeing that her family's account books are almost ready, Yin began to teach her to read the income from the Zhuangzi and shop outside.

In fact, the Su Xi Institute is not very useful, at least not in the short term.After all, Prince Jin's Mansion is still hosted by Princess Jin, and she has nothing to do after she gets married, at most she just helps out.But she is idle for a while now, and it's time to pass the time.

In addition to looking at the accounts, Su Xi was also busy embroidering the dowry.She does not need to embroider large items such as quilts and bed sheets. She only needs to embroider gold hijabs and handkerchiefs.It's just that Su Xi is not very good at embroidery, and if she really wants to embroider, she will not know that she will embroider until the year of the monkey, so Yin asked her to embroider a double lotus on the hijab.Su Xi embroidered quite seriously, even more seriously than when she embroidered Wei Feng's purse.

At the beginning of May, Yin invited people from Xiuchunju to measure her and prepare to sew her wedding dress.The woman who measured the size was very talkative, and said with a smile: "The girl is pretty, and she will have many children in the future."

When Su Xi heard about the birth of a son, she couldn't help but blush.

After measuring the size, Su Xi took off the embroidered shoes, and the mother-in-law gave her the shape of the shoes before leaving.

Su Xi felt awkward when she thought that she was going to give birth to Wei Wei's son.

I didn't give birth to him.Su Xi made a face at the girl in the mirror, hearing that giving birth to a son was painful.

Even so, she knew it in her heart.If you really want to get married, this is unavoidable.Besides, with Wei Feng's domineering temperament, can his arms twist his thighs?
The weather is getting hotter day by day, and it is summer in a blink of an eye, and the wedding date of Su Xi and Wei Wei is getting closer and closer.

These days, Wei Yan asked Tingyan to hand over letters to Su Xi several times, asking her to meet at the Buddhist scripture pavilion of Mingjue Temple.It was only at this time that she realized that the relationship between Ting Yan and Li Hong seemed unusual.Because every letter was delivered by Li Hong to Ting Yan.She propped her chin up and stared at Ting Yan standing aside with her almond eyes, with the words "Hurry up and tell the truth" written on her face.

Ting Yan categorically denied it and said: "Girl, please don't get me wrong. The maidservant just lost to Li Hong in the martial arts competition, and her skills are not as good as others, so she agreed to help him."

Su Xi said "oh" slowly, "If you lose the martial arts contest with Li Hong, you will sell me as your master..." As she spoke, she glanced at the letter on the case, meaning something.

Ting Yan knelt on the ground and said: "Miss, calm down... I just thought that you and Wei Shizi..."

Su Xi didn't really blame her, but she felt a little uncomfortable: "Even though Cousin Tingzhou and I are engaged, we haven't gotten married yet. Isn't it embarrassing to hear Sister Yan send me these letters? I saw Xin, should I go or not? I'm sorry for my mother if I go, and I'm sorry for Cousin Tingzhou if I don't..."

Only then did Ting Yan realize his mistake, "This servant knows it's wrong, and I will never pass these things to the girl again in the future."

Su Xi deducted half a month's money from Ting Yan, then read Wei Feng's letter again, and finally chose not to go.

There are only a few months left, let him wait.

In July and August, it was the summer heat, and the weather was unbearably hot.Su Xi then told Yin Shi, and led Su Baiyu to the other courtyard in the western suburbs to escape the summer heat.

Seeing that Su Xi's wedding date was coming soon, and the girl still looked like she didn't understand anything, the Yin family asked Yu Baotong, the sixth young lady of the third room, to go with her to another hospital in the name of raising a baby.Yu Baotong was seven months pregnant, her belly was getting rounder day by day, and she had a big belly when she walked.

Yu Baotong was entrusted by the Yin family in advance, so after arriving in the other courtyard, he often pretended to casually talk to Su Xi about men and women, so that Su Xi was too embarrassed to come to her.After Su Xi coaxed Su Baiyu to sleep that day, it was really boring, so she hesitated and came to talk to Yu Baotong.She thought, if elder sister Yu said those embarrassing things again this time, she would leave immediately.

It's just that this time Yu Baotong didn't have time to talk to her about that.

She knew that Brother Six and Sister Yu loved each other, but she didn't expect them to be so affectionate.

Su Xi ran back along the way she came here, perhaps with a guilty conscience, she didn't notice that there was an extra person ahead, and bumped her head in sullenness.

She whimpered and was about to back away, but the person in front of her raised her chin——

Wei Yan didn't know when he stood here, and there was no one around.He raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at her small face: "What are you doing in such a hurry, why is your face so red?"
