Chapter 854 Preparing for the Wedding

What Wen Jiahong said happened to be heard by Lianyi who was bringing people to deliver food, so she asked directly.

Wen Jiahong turned around and saw Miss Su stepping into the door. She immediately stood up from the chair, bowed respectfully, and then explained the reason for her coming.

"I'm here to deliver some food to Zhaoming brother and sister."

"If you're interested, I happen to be delivering food to Brother Ming today."

Lianyi waved his hand, and Su Wu took the two tenants and sent four sacks of grain into the kitchen.

Lianyi sat at the upper end of the main room and asked what Wen Jiahong had just said.

Wen Jiahong originally wanted to ask Brother Ming what he meant first, and then ask Miss Su from the side, but she was hit by someone, so she just said it directly.

"Miss Su, there have been rumors in the village recently that you have no plans to get married after your filial piety period, and you are planning to delay it and finally let it go."

"I see. You were worried that I would betray Brother Ming, so you came here to find me?"

Ripple wasn't angry either, just asked with a smile.

"I think if rumors can spread, someone must be watching you. In this case, I just want to ask clearly. If Miss Su has other ideas, don't delay our Brother Ming.

After all, you can remarry after breaking off the engagement. If you reconcile after getting married, it will be bad for the reputation of Brother Ming and Miss Su. "

Wen Jiahong was a little nervous when facing Lianyi, but she still clenched her palms and expressed her meaning clearly.

"I understand, you are right. There are also some rumors in Qingshan County, which are more specific than what you heard. They say that I have found another family with a good background and am planning to break off the engagement with Brother Ming."

Lianyi didn't care and directly told the rumors about Qingshan County. Although she was involved in it, she would never admit it.

"Ahem, what does Miss Yisu mean?"

Wen Jiahong asked after coughing slightly.

"I plan to get married to Brother Ming before the provincial examination. Tomorrow you ask the village chief to come to Sujiazhuang on behalf of Brother Ming's elders to discuss the marriage."

Lianyi said crisply.

"Okay, with Miss Su's words, I feel relieved that our brother Ming did not choose the wrong person."

Wen Jiahong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after chatting for a few more words, she hurried back to Wenjia Village to bring Miss Su's words to her.

Lianyi asked An He to go to the Su family and send a letter to the current patriarch and the retired patriarch to explain why she was about to get married.

An He took Ripple's letter and set off that day. Wen Jiahong, who returned to the village, also told her mother what Miss Su had asked her to do.

"Well, listening to what you said, Miss Su probably has no intention of going back on her word. In this case, I will take the village elders to Sujiazhuang tomorrow."

Village Chief Wen nodded with satisfaction and said.

Brother Ming's letter of appointment has been received. If Miss Su goes back on her word at this time, although it will have an impact on Brother Ming, it will have a greater impact on herself. After all, she has to take the scientific examination. This reputation of hating the poor and loving the rich will spread. , the examiner had a bad impression of her.

On the other side, the current patriarch of the Su family smiled after receiving Lianyi's letter. She felt that Lianyi was independent, and it can be seen from this that Lianyi was very satisfied with the husband she had found, and because of the rumors , she didn’t want her fiance to be offended, so she directly advanced the wedding date.

"I have received the letter. Please tell your lady that everything remains as usual. If you need help from the clan, just send us a message."

"Yes, thank you patriarch for being considerate of my young lady."

An He said immediately.

Then he went to see the old patriarch and handed him another letter. This was written by Ripple alone to the old patriarch.

The old patriarch does not agree with Lianyi getting married to that peasant boy now, but because the rumors are getting more and more intense in the county, it has now been spread that Miss Su family has fallen in love with the younger brother of a powerful family and wants to abandon her husband. Anyway, it is very hard to hear. .

If the Provincial Examination is delayed at this time, the rumors will be further confirmed. Instead of doing this, it is better to get married now and make the scene bigger to silence those who slander her and not affect Lianyi's next Provincial Examination.

After listening to An He's return, Lianyi nodded with satisfaction. She found someone to spread rumors and speed up the marriage.

Shen Yan from the county official media came forward again, this time on behalf of Miss Su, she went to Wenjia Village to collect and apply for a date.

At this point, Wen Zhaoming could no longer live in Sujiazhuang. He wanted to take his sister back early. The day before going back, Ripple went to see Wen Zhaoming alone.

"Brother Ming, please go back and stay for a few days during this period. I will ask the matchmaker to speed up the recruitment and application process at the same time. Then you can rest assured and wait for me to pick you up."

Ripple said with a smile.

"Well, I'll wait for you."

Wen Zhaoming still didn't believe it, but he just complied with a blushing face.

Ripple rummaged in his arms for a long time, took out a palm-sized rosewood box, and handed it to Wen Zhaoming.

Wen Zhaoming was stunned for a moment and asked:

"This is."

"open to take a look."

Wen Zhaoming seemed to understand what the other party meant. Joy flashed in his eyes, and he opened the box. Inside was a purple jade bracelet. The jade was warm and the color of violet gave it a dreamlike feeling.

"Does it look good?"

"nice."

"Then I'll put it on for you."

"This is too expensive!"

Wen Zhaoming just wanted to take the bracelet back and hide it, but he didn't dare to put it on because it would hurt him so much if he bumped it.

"This is the first gift I've ever given you. Don't think about shelving it when you go back. The bracelet is meant to be worn on your body to support others."

As Lianyi spoke, she took the other person's hand and put the bracelet directly on Wen Zhaoming's left wrist.

Wen Zhaoming felt the warmth of the jade, touched it gently with his hand, smiled, and thanked him again in a low voice.

Lianyi nodded with satisfaction, then took out a wad of silver notes from his sleeve pocket and stuffed it into Wen Zhaoming's hand.

"Lianyi, what are you doing?"

Wen Zhaoming looked at the silver that was no less than a thousand taels and asked in surprise.

"I subsidize these for you privately and treat them as your dowry. When you and I get married, you will still bring them back."

Ripple said lightly.

"Ripple, this is different."

Wen Zhaoming looked at Lianyi with a somewhat complicated expression.

When the silver notes are in his hands, they will become his dowry. Although he will take them back to the Su family, if one day they can no longer leave, he can legitimately take these silver notes as his dowry.

"Just think of it as something I give to you. It's not good for a woman to have too much money."

Ripple said with a smile.

Wen Zhaoming declined twice, but finally accepted the bank note, thinking that if Ripple encountered difficulties one day, he would take it out and treat it as temporarily stored with him.

The next day, Wen Zhaoming took his sister back to Wenjia Village, and the matchmaker came to visit the next day.
