Embarrassing for the bride

Chapter 4

It is not an exaggeration to say that what you are afraid of will come.Yuzhi was worried all day long that Wen's family would come to propose marriage, but God failed to fulfill her wish, and Wen's family sent someone to propose marriage within half a month after she married Ji.

On March [-]th, the Wen family invited a well-known "iron-mouthed" matchmaker in the capital, Fu Guipo, to bring a few unknown identities of the Wen family to the door, presenting gifts and a wild goose.Director Yuanwai and his wife received the visitors in the front hall and accepted the presents, which was a reward.

Yuzhi hid behind the screen and only took a look, seeing Dong Yuanwai and his wife took the wild geese and gifts and went back to the room. Originally, there was nothing wrong with her, even though it was her marriage.

A few days later, Fu Guipo brought someone back with a smile on her face, asked Yuzhi's first and small characters and her birth date, and took it back to the Wen family to inquire about good and bad luck, and delivered the post with the birth date of Young Master Wen to Mrs. Dong family.

Before leaving, Mrs. Fugui saw that the Dong family couple looked worried, and knew that the couple must be worried that the result of asking for names would not be satisfactory, so she hurriedly smiled and comforted them: "Don't worry, you two. There is a jade character in the small characters of Miss Fu. Coincidentally, there is also a jade character in the name of the young master of the Wen family, called Bo Yu. This is what people often call a pair of beautiful people. This marriage must be a godsend. what."

Although Dong Yuanwai and his wife knew the exaggerated words of Fu Guipo, they relaxed a lot, smiled and gave the reward, and Fu Guipo praised him again, and happily brought the visitor back to Wen's house up.

Yu Zhi listened to these words verbatim behind the screen, and this time she saw Fu Gui Po left before she went back to her room with Que Ya'er.She had heard from her nanny before that her father wanted to take her birthday horoscope to secretly check with the young master of the Wen family first, but after sending the news, she replied that the matter was not urgent and they would talk about it later Bar.At that time, Yuzhi thought that the Wen family had the intention of regretting the marriage, but later there was no movement. Now it seems that the theory of regretting the marriage can only be said to be nonsense.

Yuzhi walked to the door of her room, put her hands on her hips and sighed fiercely.

Que Ya'er hurriedly stepped forward and tugged at her sleeve, her tone was very reproachful: "Miss, you are here again, if you are seen by Mrs and Mrs like this, I must give you a good meal."

Yuzhi put down her arms sullenly, "Yes, I still think I'm in Mingyue Nunnery, where no one cares whether I have my akimbo or not."

Que Ya'er knew that she was upset, so she smiled and comforted her: "Miss, don't be unhappy, I heard that young master Wen is very handsome, and he used to go out with Mrs. Wen when he was young, and was thrown away by others. What about melons and fruits?"

"Ah?" Yuzhi burst out laughing, "How dare his body be injured? I didn't know that today's women are as open as they were a hundred years ago. They even throw fruits and carts when they see beautiful men. .”

Que Ya'er also laughed, "No matter what, he was so handsome when he was a child, and he must be even more handsome now. The lady should be happy. It is also a matter of face for my uncle to be good-looking."

"You just know how to save face. What's the use of being good-looking?" Yu Zhi gave her a white look, "You can't eat while being good-looking."

Que Ya'er giggled and said, "Why can't it, I just heard someone say a word called 'beautiful beauty'."

Yuzhi looked her up and down, "I didn't expect you to speak well now, it's amazing."

Que Ya'er stopped laughing, helped her to enter the door, and asked her intentionally: "Miss, what do you think of what that rich lady said? She said that you and the future uncle are a beautiful couple, miss."

Yu Zhi sat down at the table, poured a cup of tea by herself, curled her lips, "It's not very good, it's just a coincidence of the name, there are too many men with jade in their names in the world, maybe all of them are like me A pair of beauties?"

Que Ya'er shook her head solemnly, "From my servant's point of view, this is because the young lady and the uncle are destined to be together, so why bother others?"

Yuzhi raised her eyebrows and looked at her, "Just now I was the uncle of the future, and now I just call him uncle, you are quick to recognize your relatives, but don't forget that the result of the name question has not yet come out, maybe I don't match him, then This marriage is about to fall apart."

Que Ya'er was taken aback when he heard this, "No way?"

Yuzhi shrugged, "Who knows, just wait for the result." After speaking, she slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, but her slightly trembling fingers still revealed the tension in her heart.

Oh my god, Yuzhi clamored in her heart, it must be a mismatch.

It's a pity that things didn't go as Yuzhi wanted, about six days later, Fu Guipo came to the door early in the morning with gifts and wild geese, smiling beautifully, and her red flower and green clothes were very eye-catching.Yuzhi hid behind the screen and vaguely saw such a colorful figure, couldn't help but covered her mouth and smiled.

Mrs. Fu Gui seemed very happy, and opened the door yelling as soon as she entered the door: "Oh, Mr. Dong, Mrs. Dong, it's a good omen. Miss Your Mansion and Young Master Wen are really a match made in heaven. Mrs. Wen Jiatai laughed when she saw it." Not from ear to ear!"

Director Yuanwai and his wife laughed happily, "Yes, yes, we also have a good omen."

When Yuzhi heard this, her face darkened immediately behind the screen.

In this way, this marriage is absolutely settled, and there is no possibility of it going wrong again.

Fu Gui Po smiled and said a lot of compliments, Yu Zhi didn't bother to listen any more, sighed inwardly, and shuffled back to her yard.

Que Ya'er followed her with a happy face, not understanding why the young lady was so reluctant.That Young Master Wen is not in good health, but it is said that it is not a fatal disease, it is just a natural weakness, why does the lady care so much?
Of course, Yuzhi is not only because of this reason, but more because she feels unable to control her own marriage. Although she knows that it is wishful thinking to have independent marriage, these days she has been asking herself to accept this result as soon as possible, but when she thinks of marrying someone she has never The man I met, I still felt very uncomfortable after all.

The Wen family moved quickly. Not long after Najib passed here, the Wen family sent someone to invite Dong Yuanwai and his wife to visit the door.Dong Yuanwai and his wife went to Wen's house early in the morning, and they didn't come back until evening. They found Yuzhi and told them what they had seen and heard in Wen's house.Yuzhi just looked at the expressions of the two of them and knew that they were quite satisfied with the Wen family.

Also, what is there to be dissatisfied with such a big family?

The marriage was settled, and the Wen family sent Mrs. Fu Gui and several representatives to Dong's house to present wild geese, hand over the marriage certificate, and present the dowry, which means they are engaged.

Yuzhi has no role to intervene, she just needs to wait to be the bride, and she doesn't need to take care of other things at all, and the elders will lead the way.She suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Young Master Wen. He is also a person who has no autonomy like herself. She doesn't want to marry a stranger, so why would she want to marry a stranger?
A few days later, the elders of the Wen family came, and Yuzhi naturally didn't go to see him. He only heard that Mr. Wen was an official abroad and could not return to Beijing privately. All matters were left to his wife, so it was Mrs. Wen who came.

When Mrs. Wen arrived at Dong's house, she burned incense with Mrs. Dong Yuanwai and prayed for God's blessing, and then Dong's family hosted a banquet for them.Four courses of soup were served first during the banquet, and the mouth of the bowl was crossed with red threads to form a cross, and copper coins were dropped from the ends of the threads, implying the beginning of marriage.After tasting the soup, a plate of four pig's trotters was served, with a red flower inserted on each trotter, and a knife with a red silk wrapped around the handle was placed on the plate. , which means entering into a marriage contract.The whole process is to taste the soup and present flowers, and the completion of this step is the end of the entire engagement ceremony.

Yuzhi didn't know such details, these were all told by the wet nurse.She sighed in her heart, this is the end of the engagement, isn't it even more complicated to get busy with getting married?
Yuzhi is no longer in the mood to take care of these things anymore, the marriage is engaged, and she has completely accepted this fate, and now she has no choice but to wait to marry and become a woman.

The Wen family acted quickly, Fu Guipo came several times, and the dowry was delivered to the door.After that, the Dong family got busy, Zhou called Yuzhi's nanny, Fang, and together they began to prepare items for Yuzhi's marriage.Director Dong is also very busy. Regarding Yuzhi's dowry, he has to personally inquire about every detail.

At the end of March, the Wen family sent Fu Guipo to lead people to the door, bringing gifts and geese to raise the date.Mrs. Fu Gui handed over a red note with the specific marriage matters and date to Dong Yuanwai. Dong Yuanwai looked at it and saw that the date was set on the eighth day of April. He felt a little anxious, but then thought that his daughter would get married sooner Even if he was reluctant today, he still wanted to let her marry in the future, so he nodded and agreed to this day.

Yuzhi was embroidering flowers in her room when she received the news, and Que Yaer told her the day beamingly, but she felt unsteady in her hand and immediately pricked her finger with blood.

Que Ya'er was taken aback, and hurriedly found a handkerchief to wrap it for her, and persuaded her: "Miss is reluctant to stay home, isn't she? Oh, yes, Miss has only been back for a month."

Yuzhi sighed slightly, "Forget it, this day will always come."
