Back to business.
After Tang Shujing supported Tang Shuwan from behind, she was filled with surprise. She quickly dragged Tang Shuwan to a chair and sat down. She turned to look at Minglan and ordered:
"Go and inquire about the situation again, and come back as soon as we have the results."
"good!"
Minglan left quickly, and soon, there were only two Tang sisters in the room.
Tang Shuwan looked at her sister who was sitting there motionless, and didn't know how to comfort her for a moment. She probably knew her own nature and was afraid that she would be "yin and yang weird" when she opened her mouth.
Incompatible horoscopes... It is equivalent to people in the 21st century studying each other's horoscope before getting married, only to find that the zodiac signs are incompatible, and regard this result as a guideline.
Whether it is fortune telling or horoscopes, in addition to studying the relationship between people and the stars in the sky, it also studies the relationship between people.
Everyone has their own unique attributes, such as the positive and negative poles of a magnet. Positive and negative attract each other, positive and negative repel each other, and negative and negative also repel each other. Some people are not meant to be together by nature, just like Mars hitting the earth!
Even if she gets married by force, Tang Shuwan is still worried about the future.
The ancients believed this very much. The Tang family is a wealthy family, and Su Xian is a newly promoted noble. If the eight characters are not compatible, the Tang family will definitely not let her get married.
Instead, choose a more suitable person from the clan...
The problem is serious!
She had already made a secret promise to Su Xian, and she had been looking forward to their marriage for a long time, but now... at this last moment, she wanted to give up all her previous efforts?
Tang Shuwan couldn't accept it. She sat motionless on the chair. There was no abnormality on the outside, but in fact, she was already in pieces on the inside.
After a long time.
Minglan returns again.
This time she ran out of breath, her face was red, and her forehead was sweating. She held on to the door frame and pointed at Tang Shuwan, but she was breathless and speechless.
"Take a rest first, why are you so tired?" Tang Shujing stepped forward, helped Minglan into the room, and brought her a cup of tea.
Gudong!
Gudong!
Minglan gulped down the tea.
Tang Shuwan was still sitting there, motionless, as if she hadn't seen Minglan come back... In her opinion, whether Minglan came back or not made no difference and could not change this cruel fact.
"wrong!"
Minglan put down the teacup, swallowed the last sip of tea, looked at Tang Shuwan and said, "Wrong... wrong... the fortune teller just made a mistake..."
Tang Shuwan came to life instantly after hearing this, jumped up with a swoosh, grabbed Minglan's arm and asked, "What did you say? Mr. Divination just... made a mistake?"
"What exactly is going on?"
Tang Shujing also came over. Although she didn't agree with Su Xian's marriage to her sister, she saw Tang Shuwan's situation just now and still hoped that the matter could turn around.
Minglan finally regained her breath, stared at her big round eyes and said:
"The horoscope of the Marquis is relatively rare. There is a subtle point that Mr. Divination ignored before, leading to the conclusion that the horoscopes of the Marquis and the lady are not compatible."
"Later, the Marquis asked Mr. Divination to recalculate it. Mr. Divination calculated it carefully and considered it carefully, and finally discovered the subtlety!"
Tang Shuwan hurriedly asked: "What was the result?"
Tang Shujing also stared at Minglan.
Minglan didn't dare to be negligent. After some consideration, a smile appeared on her chubby face and she said with a smile: "The newly calculated results show that the horoscopes of the Marquis and the young lady are... a perfect match!"
"Your union is a match made in heaven! Miss, I congratulate you first!"
"..."
"A match made in heaven..." Tang Shuwan breathed a heavy sigh of relief, her expression changed dramatically in an instant, and a smile appeared from the heart.
"This Mr. Bazi is looking for a fight!" After Tang Shujing was happy, she became very angry. She moved her long legs to go to the Mr. Bazi to settle the score.
"Jing'er, no!" Tang Shuwan and Minglan quickly stopped her.
"..."
Another quarter of an hour later.
Minglan returned again, looked at Tang Shuwan and smiled:
"Miss, Alang has completed the verbal 'contract' with the Marquis, and agreed to complete the 'conquest' ceremony one month later! Congratulations, miss!"
To make an alliance is to complete a verbal agreement. This is where the "Oath of Allegiance" passed down in later generations comes from, but an alliance is not an engagement.
Engagement is the fourth ceremony among the Three Books and Six Etiquettes - Nazheng.
That is to say, the man comes to the door with the betrothal gift and one of the three letters of "engagement letter", and the woman accepts the betrothal gift and the letter of engagement. Only then is the written agreement completed, that is, the engagement.
In particular families, it usually takes a month to prepare for the wedding gift. During this period, the man prepares the betrothal gift and letter of appointment, while the woman prepares the dowry.
"Daddy is not 'discourteous' this time." Tang Shuwan murmured to herself, then raised her eyes to Minglan and praised: "Thank you for your hard work today!"
"It's not hard work, I'm willing to break my legs for the sake of my young lady!" Ming Lan said with her face flushed and her big round eyes open.
Tang Shuwan smiled knowingly, and just as she was about to reward Minglan, she heard Minglan murmur in a low voice: "I heard that the Marquis can make candy. After we get married, we won't have to worry about running out of candy..."
Um?
Tang Shuwan's expression froze, but before she could speak, her sister Tang Shujing suddenly asked, "Have Su Xian and the others left?"
"Already left..." Minglan suddenly remembered something, looked at Tang Shuwan and said:
"Miss, my servant met Alang on the way back. Alang told the lady: From today on, you can't step out of the house, and you can't meet strangers. You can make preparations at home."
"As for the dowry, Alang and his wife will discuss it. The family attaches great importance to this marriage. Please don't worry, Miss. You can get married in a few months."
"..."
When Tang Shujing heard this, she didn't bother to say anything, and snorted secretly. She didn't like this kind of rules and regulations.
Tang Shuwan was not Tang Shujing. She always abided by the rules. Although Tang Ju and Mrs. Chen were not here, she still responded respectfully: "Please don't worry, father and mother, my daughter understands."
"..."
Tang Shujing frowned secretly.
Since her sister's marriage to Su Xian was no longer in trouble, she began to follow her own temper. Seeing her sister's behavior of following the rules, she felt unhappy, so she began to tease her sister.
He said something like "I'm not married yet, so I'm just saying good things for Su Xian", and "Who was it just now? I heard that the horoscopes were not compatible, so I just sat there motionless, as if my soul was gone."
The teasing from her biological sister made Tang Shuwan's face turn red. She couldn't refute it, let alone fight it. She was very embarrassed for a moment.
When Ming Lan saw her young lady being bullied, she immediately stood up. She rolled her eyes, looked at Tang Shujing and said:
"Second young lady, when the young lady marries into the Marquis's house, you will call the Marquis your 'brother-in-law'!"
"What did you say? Sister...sister...sister, sister-in-law?!"
Tang Shujing screamed like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, jumped three feet high, took a few steps back, and looked at her sister and Minglan with an ugly expression.
