Before the house was raided, the maidservant of the Prime Minister's residence absconded with t

"Young Master Chen, Sister Tao'er, isn't this a bit too fast?"

Dongkui was still a little dazed. Choosing a date for the wedding so soon seemed a bit too fast!

"Not fast, not fast!"

We're going to be together sooner or later anyway, so the sooner the better!

Besides, you're almost twenty, it's time for you to get married.

You can't expect Qingfeng to keep waiting for you forever!

That's settled then. We'll have Uncle Li pick an auspicious day later."

Tao'er said with a smile.

Elder Li walked over with a smile, "Three days from now is an auspicious day, suitable for marriage."

"Then let's set it for three days from now."

"But Sister Peach, in such a short time, I haven't even started embroidering my wedding dress yet!"

By the end, Dongkui's head was bowed so low that her voice was barely audible.

Tao'er then understood why Sister Dongkui had spoken so hastily.

She forgot that in ancient times, brides usually embroidered their own wedding dresses.

Wealthy young ladies and noblewomen would pay famous embroiderers to embroider their wedding dresses.

She remembered that there was a ready-made wedding dress in the space, and it was very beautiful.

She smiled and said, "Sister Dongkui, you don't need to worry about the wedding dress or dowry. I will arrange everything. You just need to wait to be the bride."

If you really want to embroider, then just embroider a mandarin duck veil and embroidered shoes.

"Then thank you very much, Sister Tao'er."

You're so good to me!

Dongkui's eyes instantly welled up with tears; no one in her life had ever been so kind to her.

"Silly sister, don't cry. You've been with me for so long, it's only right that I arrange these things for you."

Seeing you happy makes me happy for you too.

In this era, it's already considered a good outcome for a woman to marry a good man.

"Qingfeng thanks Miss Tao'er."

Qingfeng respectfully bowed with his hands clasped.

"Alright, alright, stop bowing to me. I don't want to shorten my lifespan. Just be nicer to Dongkui from now on."

Tao'er's face was beaming with an undisguised smile.

Xiao Yi strode over and slapped Qingfeng on the shoulder with such force that Qingfeng swayed.

He laughed and said, "Good lad, you've done it!"

I told you Dongkui had feelings for you, but you wouldn't believe me and kept scaring yourself.

Xie Jingchen stood to the side, his thin lips slightly curved, his gaze towards Tao'er filled with a different kind of tenderness.

Tao'er turned her head away, pretending not to see it.

The two children had been itching to get started for a long time.

Ayan, with his short legs, was the first to rush over, hugging Dongkui's leg and looking up at her, shouting, "Sister Dongkui is getting married! That's wonderful! That's wonderful!"

Huanhuan ran over and tugged at Dongkui's clothes, saying in a childish voice, "Sister Dongkui is going to be a bride!"

The two children sang in harmony, making all the adults present laugh.

Surrounded by the children, Dongkui's face flushed crimson all the way to her ears, but she still bent down and gently patted the two children's heads: "Okay, okay, I know. You're even happier than I am, aren't you?"

Ayan nodded vigorously, his eyes sparkling: "Of course!"

"From now on, Brother Qingfeng will be Sister Dongkui's husband, right?"

These words were so blunt and naive that Dongkui didn't know how to respond for a moment, while Qingfeng chuckled foolishly beside her.

Tao'er stepped forward, took Dongkui's hand, and looked earnestly into her eyes: "Sister Dongkui, have you thought it through?"

Once a date is set, there's no going back!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime event.

Dongkui grasped Tao'er's hand in return and nodded seriously, "Little sister Tao'er, I've made up my mind."

Brother Qingfeng is a very nice person, and he treats me extremely well.

He also said that he would only have one lover in his life and would never take a concubine.

I never imagined I could marry such a wonderful person.

I'm content!

These words sounded sincere, so Tao'er was relieved.

"Peach Girl, don't worry, I will definitely treat Dongkui well."

If I treat her badly, I will have no complaints no matter how you hit or punish me.

If that day ever comes, and I leave with nothing, Miss Dongkui can take all my possessions with her.

Qingfeng patted his chest and spoke with utmost seriousness.

"Alright, Brother Qingfeng, since you say so, I will believe you."

If you ever betray Sister Dongkui, I will make you pay a terrible price.

"No one will be able to protect you then."

Tao'er looked at Xiao Yi as she spoke.

Xiao Yi quickly declared, "Tao'er, if Qingfeng dares to bully Dongkui, I'll be the first to punish him."

Tao'er nodded and said, "Seventh Brother Shi, I've remembered what you said."

Since they are both willing, the wedding should proceed.

The date was set for three days later, as Li Bo had suggested.

Although it's a bit rushed, with so many of us, we can still make it a lively and fun event.

Xiao Yi waved his hand and said, "I'll prepare the betrothal gifts. Qingfeng has been with me for so many years, I can't let him be embarrassed."

Tao'er smiled slightly: "I will provide the dowry."

Sister Dongkui treats me like family, and I won't let her suffer any injustice.

Xie Jingchen spoke up from the side, "What about the new house?"

"In urgent matters, expediency is the best policy."

The largest room in the east wing of the new house was cleaned up.

It's just a temporary place to stay anyway.

They put up some "double happiness" characters, hung up red lanterns, and changed to brand new wedding quilts, etc.

That's about right.

"Invite the neighbors from the left and right sides to come over for a feast, and have a lively wedding."

My father represented the groom's family and the officiant.

Peach represents the bride's family.

Mr. Chen and I were the witnesses at our wedding.

"Peach, what do you think of this arrangement?"

"Hmm, that's good, but one crucial step is missing!"

Tao'er nodded and spoke.

"What part?"

Everyone asked in unison.

"We still need a person with perfect fortune to comb the bride's hair."

"That's not difficult. We can just hire a well-known local 'blessed man' from town."

"Alright, then let Tao'er handle this!"

It's not convenient for us men to get involved.

Xie Jingchen said.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll take care of it."

These past two days, Qingfeng took Sister Dongkui to the street to buy some jewelry.

In addition, you need to go to the back mountain yourself and hunt a pair of wild geese.

If you can't hit them, you can just buy a pair at the market.

"Young Master Chen, you two go to the street to buy some things needed for the wedding banquet."

"Ayan, Huanhuan, why don't you two learn to cut out the character for 'happiness'?"

"it is good."

The two little ones clapped their hands happily.

Everyone admired Tao'er for her meticulous planning.

Qingfeng listened to everyone's words of encouragement as they made arrangements for him, and he was so grateful that he didn't know what to say.

He bowed deeply to Xiao Yi and Tao'er: "Young master, young lady, I will never forget your great kindness in this lifetime..."

Xiao Yi lightly kicked his shin: "Don't give me that."

If you're truly grateful, treating Dongkui well from now on is more important than anything else.

Qingfeng nodded emphatically, looking as if he wanted to tear his heart out and show it to everyone.
