Hearing this, Chen Xiaobei was secretly happy. This gift from the prince was more important than the wealth of the entire family.
Taking advantage of the heat, he had to hurry up. Thinking of this, he said, "Uncle, since you said this, I think it's better to just let the ancestors of our village come over tomorrow. If we propose marriage, our matter is settled."
Cui Fugui hurried after hearing this. Strike while the iron is hot, "Yeah, yeah, let's get this happy event done while it's still not too cold today. We'll be in trouble if we want to have a banquet in the cold winter months."
After saying this, the three of them laughed heartily.
After settling the matter easily, Chen Xiaobei returned to Hetou Village and went directly to his ancestors. This was a big deal. To propose marriage, one must have a highly respected person in the clan, and his ancestors were naturally the most suitable candidates.
After meeting and explaining the purpose of their visit, the ancestor was so happy that his beard stood straight up.
"Okay, okay. I didn't expect that the beauty from all over the country would end up in Xiaowen's hands. Good people are rewarded."
Chen Xiaobei almost laughed after hearing these words. These words are nonsense. But it’s true if you think about it, Chen Xiaowen is indeed a good person.
Back at his home, Chen Xiaobei briefly explained the situation to Cui Hongyu.
Of course Cui Hongyu was also very happy, "Brother Xiaobei is coming back. I will take everyone to help with the preparations. Don't worry about it. You should hurry up and prepare to go to Wannian City."
Chen Xiaobei nodded, "Yes, the days are almost here, but we have to go."
"By the way, if you have time, ask Brother Fang Jun. He knows more about the rules of this kind of thing."
Chen Xiaobei nodded. It was true.
Fang Junnai is a descendant of Fang Zheng. He has seen the world at least, so he naturally knows more.
When it got dark, Chen Qiaoer and a few friends came back talking and laughing. When she saw Chen Xiaobei, Qiaoer quickly ran up and hugged his legs and said with a smile, "Brother, brother, Mr. taught us today." A poem, I will recite it to you later."
Chen Xiaobei nodded and patted her little head gently, "Okay, okay, you can recite it to me later. Now I have to go out for something."
At this time, Cui Hongyu quickly called Chen Qiaoer, "Qiaoer Qiaoer, come to my place, your brother has something to do."
Chen Qiaoer was well-behaved, and immediately ran to Cui Hongyu, held her hand, and Chen Xiaobei walked quickly to school.
There are too many people at dinner at night, so it’s inconvenient to say some things, so why not go now. Ask Fang Jun for clarification.
At this time, Fang Jun was still cleaning up at school. After teaching the children, he had to sort out the homework given by the professor for the day. In addition, he also had to complete the homework for the children meticulously.
Seeing Fang Jun writing seriously on the blackboard in the classroom, Chen Xiaobei was a little moved. He waited until Fang Jun finished writing before gently knocking on the door twice.
Hearing the noise, Fang Jun turned around and saw that it was Chen Xiaobei. He seemed very excited and hurriedly put down the chalk in his hand and hurried out to greet him.
"Brother Xiaobei, why are you here?"
Chen Xiaobei rubbed his nose.
"I want to ask you something."
"Brother Xiaobei, you don't have to be so polite. If you have anything, just ask. As long as I know, I will tell you everything."
Chen Xiaobei looked around. After all, he was still a little embarrassed, "That's it. In a few days, I have to marry Miss Liu Rumei according to the emperor's arrangement. I want to ask you first, what are the details of this? I want to What are you preparing?"
After hearing this question, Fang Jun was stunned for a moment, and then he scratched his head.
"It stands to reason that when the emperor grants a marriage, there must first be an imperial edict. When the time comes, someone must carry the edict and walk at the front. You can follow behind and bring more betrothal gifts."
Hearing this, Chen Xiaobei nodded. This rule is easy to understand. I came to welcome the bride with the imperial edict, so of course I had to offer the imperial edict at the front, but I just received a spoken word.
"I don't have an imperial edict, only an oral edict. What should I do?"
This time Fang Jun was stopped and he scratched his head.
"I don't know if that's the case." Otherwise, he would slap his head.
"By the way, you might as well ask Her Royal Highness the Princess and ask her to give you some advice. If you do something wrong at that time, just say that you were ordered by Her Highness the Princess, and the Emperor will blame you. That has nothing to do with you."
Hearing this, Chen Xiaobei secretly gave Fang Jun a thumbs up.
Don't say that Fang Jun's idea is really good.
Think about it, even if you do something wrong, I am following your daughter's orders, so you, the father, can't do anything to me, let alone your daughter because of this.
Thinking of this, he beamed with joy and hugged Fang Jun, "Thank you for your advice. I will ask Her Royal Highness the Princess for advice early tomorrow morning."
The two of them talked and returned to Chen Xiaobei's new home to prepare for dinner. The focus of everyone's discussion that night was Chen Xiaowen.
Everyone gathered around Chen Xiaowen and discussed enthusiastically.
Facing everyone's compliments and comments, Chen Xiaowen simply poured a glass of wine, stood up, and said to everyone present, "Brothers, sisters, elders, I, Chen Xiaowen, will go to propose marriage tomorrow. If I can achieve today's results, Thanks to Brother Xiaobei for helping me.”
Hearing this, everyone toasted and smiled at Chen Xiaobei again. Chen Xiaobei also waved his hands to indicate that everyone should listen to Xiao Wen and continue to speak.
Chen Xiaowen raised his wine glass again and said loudly, "Everyone, my drinking capacity is limited. I will use this glass tonight to thank you all for your help. I will be waiting for my wedding one day. So far, everyone is open to eating and drinking."
After hearing his words, everyone was noisy again.
"Okay, okay, we're just waiting to drink your wedding wine."
"That's right, I have to get drunk on that day."
After receiving shouts from the crowd, Chen Xiaowen raised his glass and drank it down without hesitation.
Everyone cheered loudly, and then drank the glass of wine in their hands.
Looking at the excitement in front of them, Chen Xiaobei and Cui Hongyu looked at each other.
Although the two of them were happy for such a scene, they also knew that thinking about Huang Ying still made them endlessly sad. Cui Hongyu whispered, "If you don't want to drink, please go back and rest early."
Chen Xiaobei nodded, took two bites of food, put down his chopsticks and walked out of the house.
After going out, Chen Xiaobei thought for a while and ran straight to the entrance of the village.
A large fire was lit at the entrance of the village, and two village guards were wandering there. Chen Xiaobei waved to them.
"I'll be on duty here for you. You go back and have a bite to eat first."
The two village guards looked very excited, but refused. "No, no, no, it's time to change shifts in a while. We'll go back to eat after get off work."
Chen Xiaobei's face darkened, "Okay, okay, you go back, I'm here."
The two looked at each other again, then handed the swords in their hands to Chen Xiaobei, then turned and left.
