Chapter 805 Xiaowu's Marriage
Listening to Xie Yu's tone and seeing the smile in his eyes, Bai Yunxi nodded in agreement,
"Based on this, you still have a tight schedule. In that case, you can just go and be busy, and there is no need to worry about me here. Godmother wishes you a smooth journey and hopes that we can get together again in three years. Speaking of which, you and Xiao Wu are in the same situation. As expected of a godbrother, I have one important thing to do when I come to the county this time, which is to propose marriage to the Zhang family on behalf of Xiao Wu, so that Xiao Wu and Sister Shan can get married. "
"I have asked Mrs. Liu to come and make peace. I don't know the details yet. You have to keep it a secret for the time being, so as not to ruin Sister Shan's reputation."
Listening to Bai Yunxi's gentle tone and seeing the smile in her eyes, Xie Yu chuckled softly after being stunned,
"The fifth brother is really lucky. The Zhang family girl is a kind and good girl. Although she has a more lively temper, she is a perfect match for the fifth brother. "
One talks little, the other talks a lot, they are a perfect match.
"Don't worry, godmother, I'm just waiting for another drink when we get together in the future."
"You two are pretty much the same now. You're both on the same path. Just wait until the day we get together again, and you can just take care of it. The palms and backs of your hands are all flesh, and I can't control that much."
Baiyunxi took a sip of tea with a smile in her eyes.
"My son Xie Yu bids farewell to my godmother."
As Xie Yu said this, he lifted up his robe and knelt down to Baiyunxi, kowtow.
"My son has a long journey and is preparing to get married. He really can't delay. I would like to bid farewell to my godmother. Please take care of yourself and we will reunite in three years."
"Go ahead, my godmother is looking forward to the day of reunion."
Bai Yunxi stood up and helped the man up, patted his shoulder and sent him to the yard. He watched him take the reins from Wenyou's hand before waving his hand.
"Go ahead."
Watching Xie Yu leave, Bai Yunxi held Wenyou's hand. Just as he was about to turn around and go back, he saw the Liu family's mule cart slowly turning into the alley.
The mule cart stopped, and Bai Yunxi stood beside the cart and stretched out his hand.
"I was looking forward to Sister Liu's arrival. I prepared tea early and followed me into the house to have a rest."
"Old sister, why are you so polite? We don't pay attention to the weak ones when it comes to temper."
Mrs. Liu took Bai Yunxi's hand and got out of the mule cart, and gave her a look. She seemed to have seen Mr. Xie's figure just now. Thinking about the relationship between the two families, I guessed that it was time to say goodbye.
I think the husband of the Xie family is also a hard-working man. He is obviously the eldest son, and he is also a good young man with a talent for reading. Even her father felt sorry for him every time he mentioned the husband of the Xie family, and blamed the county magistrate for being harsh on his eldest son.
Originally, her master planned to accept Mr. Xie as his student, but by some strange combination of circumstances, he missed it.
Even so, after Xie Jialangjun returned, he still came to the door with a heavy gift to thank him for his teachings.
Listening to Mrs. Liu's thoughts, Bai Yunxi sighed silently, entered the room, moved her to her seat, and served Wenyou some tea before looking at her eagerly.
"Pfft~, you two, don't stare at me like that, your heart is trembling in panic." Mrs. Liu put down her tea cup and cleared her throat, "Well, seeing that you are so anxious, I won't hold it anymore. The Zhang family agreed. "
To be honest, when she made peace in the past, she really didn't expect it to go so smoothly.
Even if the Zhang family and the Bai family have long since expressed their feelings in private, as a woman, she has to wait for a while, at least she has to make two trips before she can let go.
Unexpectedly, she went to express her intention, and Zhang Yiren laughed and immediately agreed without even a polite word, which made her seem redundant.

It's the first time that being a matchmaker is so easy. You don't have to talk any more, just act as a microphone and get the matchmaking gift.
"The dean also said that we, the Number One Scholar, still have responsibilities, and we need to take office on the specified date. Those complicated and customary rituals can be avoided if possible, as long as we complete the six rituals according to the rules."
Bai Yunxi nodded, his eyes full of joy,
"The Zhang family belongs to a scholarly family, a distinguished and distinguished family, with noble character. As the elder of the husband, I naturally cannot bear to neglect the important matter of the marriage of my children. I must not omit any of the six rites that should be carried out. I must not wrong our Sister Shan."
The woman can give in, but she can't let them get away with it, make people laugh at her, and leave no regrets for Sister Shan. This is the man's attitude and his face.
Listening to Bai Yunxi's statement, Mrs. Liu was naturally very happy.
"Oh, this is called putting two good things aside. It is a blessing for the juniors to have such enlightened elders as you."
Next, it is time to perform the six rituals.
The six etiquette are: accepting gifts, asking for names, accepting gifts, accepting invitations, asking for appointments, and personally welcoming.
Nacai: The man's family invites a matchmaker to propose marriage to the woman's family. After the woman's family agrees to propose marriage, the man's family prepares gifts and goes to propose marriage.
Name question: The man’s family asks the matchmaker to ask the woman’s name and date of birth.
Najib: After the man retrieves the woman’s name and horoscope, he goes to the ancestral temple for divination.
Nazheng: Also known as Naqi, the man’s family gives betrothal gifts to the woman’s family.
Request period: The groom’s family chooses a wedding date, prepares a gift and informs the bride’s family, and asks for their approval.
Welcoming in person: One or two days before the wedding, the woman delivers the dowry and makes the bed, and the next day the groom comes to the woman’s home to marry her in person.
Originally, it would take three to five months to complete these etiquettes, but as Xie Yu said, things have to be urgent, and the six etiquettes can be completed in one month. Baiyunxi recognized the benevolence and righteousness of the Zhang family and was not stingy. On the betrothal gift, she directly gave several hundred acres of farmland near the county town to Sister Shan, and also purchased a set of gold and jade headdresses. As for the cloth, everything was prepared according to the best standards, just so as not to wrong this satisfied daughter-in-law.
As an old mother, she has several children. Only Xiao Wu's marriage was arranged by her personally, and the rest were all done by hand, without any feeling.
Of course, in order to prepare these betrothal gifts, Bai Yunxi also called the children to hold a family meeting and told them her plan.
Several people listened, and after a moment of silence, they all nodded in agreement.
"Mom, the fifth brother's marriage is different from ours, and it should be taken seriously. Besides, the fifth brother is an official. If he is too shabby, he will be laughed at."
"Second brother is right. To be polite, our family will still have to rely on the protection of the fifth brother in the future. If he doesn't even have a surplus in his hands, how can he do anything?"
"We have no objection to mother's decision. We have all seen Miss Zhang. She is a good person. After she gets married, she will be the face of our Bai family."
Listening to the tone and voice of several people, Bai Yunxi was relieved and sighed that her children were all kind.
"I'm relieved that you think of me like this. Xiao Si is right. Our family is Xiao Wu's backer and his protected family. Everything complements each other. Only when the family works together can life get better and better."
"Besides, this little bit of industry is nothing at all. When the road is opened in the future, the industry will only increase, and our family will go further and further."
As soon as Bai Yunxi finished speaking, led by Bai Anyan, the Du family stood up, knelt in the main hall, and kowtowed,
"Son/daughter-in-law/daughter will listen to mother's arrangements."
