Chapter 402 Shocking
"I don't agree." Li Xiaoxiao said bluntly.
"What should I do?" Sun's tears came as if they were free.
"I have already thought of a way to deal with it. The marriage must be cancelled when the time comes, so you don't have to worry." Li Xiaoxiao said firmly.
"What do you want to do? Will it be dangerous?" Li Dahai asked hurriedly. He knew that Li Xiaoxiao always had his own ideas.
But the man disagreed to cancel the engagement. He was really worried that Li Xiaoxiao would do something extreme.
"How can it be dangerous? I cherish my life more than anyone else. I won't tell you now, and you will know when the time comes." This matter was just a trivial matter to her, but it was still shocking to them.
Besides, the fewer people know about this kind of thing, the better.
Although Li Xiaoxiao spoke with great confidence, Sun was still nervous, but she had no better idea.
Worried about her daughter, feeling depressed and having nowhere to talk, Sun came to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion. When she arrived, Si Chengxu's mother Cheng Menggu happened to be there too, and the two greeted each other.
The emperor's decree was no secret, so Sun did not hide it from her and told her everything, except that she did not mention the fact that Li Xiaoxiao had asked Cheng Kun to cancel the engagement.
"Cheng Kun, the eldest son of the Prime Minister?" The old lady was also shocked when she heard this. Why would the marriage be granted suddenly?
She knew the young man Cheng Kun. He was old and rarely went out, but they were officials in the same dynasty and had similar ranks, so she had some understanding of his basic situation.
I heard that he was not a very good person, uneducated, and spent his time eating, drinking and having fun, and had an idle little job. The first impression was very bad.
"Yes, it's him." Sun's face was full of worry. It had been like this since the marriage was arranged. She couldn't sleep or eat well.
Cheng Menggu was shocked. Cheng Kun was going to marry Li Xiaoxiao, so could her son marry Cheng Yuner? The sudden joy made her in a good mood.
She glanced at Sun calmly. A girl from the country actually looked down on her nephew from her mother's side. She didn't even consider her own family's conditions. In the face of such great news, she didn't know how to be grateful and even had a sad face. What an ignorant peasant woman.
If it were someone else, they would be overjoyed and celebrate with drums and gongs.
Sun didn't know that Cheng Menggu was Cheng Kun's biological aunt, but the old lady knew it. Cheng Menggu had been married for many years and had a good relationship with the Prime Minister's Mansion. Naturally, she couldn't say anything in front of her.
She looked at Cheng Menggu, who noticed her gaze, slowly stood up, and saluted the old lady: "Mother, my elder sister hasn't been here for a while, please have a good talk with her, I'll take my leave first."
Then he nodded to Sun and left.
Watching Cheng Menggu walk away, the old lady said to Sun in a gentle voice, "Come here and sit here." She pointed to the empty seat next to her.
Sun sighed softly and sat next to her as she said.
"Xiaoxiao, don't you want to get married?" The old lady grabbed her daughter's hand and rubbed it back and forth. Sun's hands were not big, but she had done a lot of farm work in the past, so there were thick calluses on her hands.
She has been in the capital for so long. Even if she doesn't do any work, her condition is only slightly better than before. It is estimated that she will have to carry it for the rest of her life. The old lady feels very distressed. If it weren't for her carelessness, how could her daughter suffer so much?
"Yes, you know her personality. She is not someone who gives in easily. She has her own ideas and a stubborn temper. She went to find Cheng Kun early this morning and wanted him to cancel the engagement, but he refused." Feeling the old lady's concern, Sun finally felt a little better.
"Xiaoxiao is a good child. I also think that Cheng Kun is not worthy of her, but the emperor's order is hard to disobey. Since the decree has been issued, this is the only way." The old lady loves Sun's children so much that she also likes Li Xiaoxiao, who is smart and eloquent. Without her, she would probably never be able to find her daughter until she dies.
"But Xiaoxiao doesn't want to get married. She also said she has thought of a way to deal with the situation. I'm really afraid that she will do something stupid." This is what Sun is most worried about. Xiaoxiao sometimes does things in an extreme way. The reason why she didn't tell them must be because her ideas are dangerous.
"No, she has her own principles in doing things. As for your whole family, she will never put you in danger because of her own affairs." The old lady saw through it clearly. Sun had lost her composure because she cared too much.
"Really?" Sun looked at the old lady blankly.
"You, if you think about it carefully, you will understand." The old lady touched her head lovingly. Although she was young, several long hairs had been growing on her head. She sighed with emotion.
Only when you become a mother can you understand the worry and the reluctance to see your child suffer any injustice.
Three days later, a team of people came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion with drums and gongs. In ancient times, there were six main procedures for engagement, namely, Nacai, Wenming, Naji, Nazheng, Qingqi and Qinying. During this period, there would also be three books, namely, the engagement letter, the gift letter and the wedding letter.
The betrothal letter is an engagement letter, indicating that the man and woman have made an engagement, and is used when proposing the marriage; the gift book is a gift list, listing the number and quantity of the man's gifts, and is used when proposing the betrothal gift; the wedding reception book is our modern marriage certificate, used when welcoming the bride.
Because it was the emperor who granted the marriage, the three procedures of accepting the proposal, asking for the name and accepting the marriage were all omitted. The emperor directly gave the betrothal gifts and also asked for a date, which was to calculate the wedding date.
There was a lot of banging and banging along the way, it was so lively, worthy of being the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was grand. There were sixty-six big red boxes, each of which was carried by two adult strong men, which looked quite strenuous.
The crowd watching stretched their necks in envy, looking at the endless line of betrothal gifts. Which girl would be so lucky to marry into the Prime Minister's mansion?
I haven't heard that the son of the prime minister is engaged to any girl, but there are people who have nothing to do, just following along to watch the fun. Looking at the big red box, they are almost drooling with envy.
That was the betrothal gift from the Prime Minister's Mansion. There was no doubt that the things inside must be priceless. It was a pity that I could only take a look at it.
The matchmaker in the front was wearing a bright red dress, with red rouge on her face, and she looked very happy. She had been a matchmaker for many years, but this was the first time she looked so glorious.
On his arm he carried a basket filled with candies, and whenever he saw someone, he would grab a handful of them and tell them, "The eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion is marrying Li Xiaoxiao, the daughter of the eldest sister of the Yong'an Marquis's son."
Because the distance was not too far, the team arrived at the Si Mansion quickly. Before they got close, the sound of gongs and drums spread throughout the Si Mansion.
