Both parties were afraid that the other party would go back on their word, so they quickly exchanged engagement letters, and the engagement was completed.

After discussing the marriage, Li Shao and Matchmaker Zhang saw Zhao Ye hiding and peeking as they were leaving.

Seeing that shy and timid look, Li Shao's heart was warmed, and he wished he could just pack him up and take him home.

He immediately grinned at Zhao Ye and said silently, "Wait for me to marry you."

Watching Li Shao's back as he left, Zhao Ye clutched his clothes on his chest. He couldn't believe that he and Brother Li were really set, and Brother Li was going to marry him in three days. He could marry the person he loved.

Zhao's father, who was looking at the things Li Shao brought, said to Zhao's mother, "This kid is really anxious. He wants to get married in three days. Really... But the things he brought for the marriage proposal are quite complete."

Mother Zhao said, "Of course, he is a polite person."

Then he called Zhao Ye to come out and pack up.

The two were successfully engaged, and the news that they were going to get married in three days spread throughout the village.

This was considered news in this small village. After all, Li Shao, a man of unknown origin, killed a wild boar that came down the mountain and saved many people in the village. This had been a topic of discussion among people after dinner these days.

Besides, ever since what happened to Zhao Ye, he has not yet gotten married at the age of eighteen, and has become the target of gossip among the village gossips.

Zhao's father wanted to marry him to the old man as a concubine at a high price, but in this era of parents' orders and matchmakers' words, this young man dared to escape the marriage and get together with Li Shao again. The degree of explosion in this village is comparable to the news of modern top stars cheating.

Now these two people are actually going to get married.

"Hey, have you heard? The newcomer Li Shao is really going to marry Ye Ge'er from the Zhao family, and they are already engaged."

"I heard about it. I saw Matchmaker Zhang going to Zhao's house with him this morning. She brought a lot of things with her. It's not just an engagement, the wedding is going to take place in three days."

"Is this true? You're in such a hurry. I never thought that even though Ye got naked in front of so many people, someone would still rush to marry him. And the gift was so high. Old Zhao got lucky."

"Maybe she's pregnant. We don't know when the two of them hooked up. When Li Shao first arrived in the village, he sent meat to his family."

"Is it true? But does Li Shao know about his past?"

"Of course he doesn't know. If he knew, he would still be wanted. Tell me. This Ye brother has a hard time ahead. He will definitely be beaten if you find out about these things. Li Shao is so tall and strong that he is scary."

"Mother of Guzi, you have such a foul mouth. Why did Ye Ge'er have to be beaten? I think Li Shao really loves Ye Ge'er. They will definitely live a good life in the future."

There were people in the village who wished him well, but there were also those who thought that what Zhao Ye had done before was shameless and hoped to see him beaten.

Li Shao would not pay attention to the rumors in the village, nor did he have time to pay attention to them. He only had three days and he had to be busy preparing things for the wedding.

Li Shao was a bachelor in his own world before, and weddings in his time were completely different from those in ancient times. Fortunately, he had a good neighbor, Aunt Su.

People in the countryside don't care about that much, they just clean and decorate the house and then have a few tables for the banquet. It's called a banquet, but if you want to save money, you can just prepare a few vegetarian dishes, buy some boiled peanuts, and some cakes to make a table. No one cares about anything, because many poor families do this.

Then some wealthy families would hire a donkey cart to pick up the bride, while those without money would just walk home with the groom. As for sedan chairs, those were only used by the wealthy families in the town.

Aunt Su advised him not to do it too well and it would be better to save the money to buy land and live on it in the future.

But Li Shao didn't think so. It was already unfair to Ye Ge'er to get married in such a house.

He decided to hire a sedan chair in town to pick up the bride, and also invited a chef who specialized in mobile banquets to prepare a few tables. He had just arrived, so he invited the villagers to come and liven up the atmosphere so that he could better integrate into the village.

I cleaned the house thoroughly and went to town to buy candles, firecrackers and various ingredients for the wedding.

I went to a clothing store to buy wedding clothes. In the village, weddings usually buy a piece of red cloth to make clothes. If it is made into a wedding dress, it can only be worn once and will have to be taken apart later. If it is made into a normal style, it can also be worn when visiting relatives during festivals.

The wedding was to be held in three days, and it was too late to buy cloth and make wedding clothes by himself. Moreover, Li Shao was reluctant to let Zhao Ye spend effort to make clothes, so he just bought ready-made ones, which suited his mind. However, Ye Ge'er could not come to try them on, so if there were some places that were not suitable for the size, he would have to take it back to try it on and then modify it himself.

The custom here is that the newlyweds cannot meet each other before the wedding, so the wedding dress was sent to Zhao Ye by Aunt Su.

Zhao Ye was so happy when he got the wedding dress. He never thought that he would have the chance to wear it. The young men in the village only had one red dress when they got married. Who could afford to buy ready-made clothes?

It seems that Brother Li really likes him. At the same time, he feels sweet but can't help but feel sorry for the money. He quickly altered the wedding dress to make it fit him. Touching the wedding dress, he looks forward to his future life with Brother Li and smiles sweetly.

The day before the wedding, Li Shao cleaned the house thoroughly, replaced the beds and bedding with new ones, pasted big red wedding characters on the windows and doors, and went to bed early to prepare for the wedding the next day.

After getting up early and arranging the chefs to prepare the banquet, Li Shao changed into his wedding dress, mounted his horse, and set off with the wedding procession accompanied by the beating of gongs and drums.

At the Zhao family, Zhao Ye also got up early. In fact, he didn't sleep much last night. Thinking that he was going to marry Brother Li today, he felt sweet and nervous.

Accompanied by Zhao's mother, Sun Jiao and elder sister Zhao Liu, she changed into her wedding dress and dressed up.

Zhao Xiuwen left to take the imperial examination. As for Zhao Qi, he left in anger last time, and Zhao Ye did not come to the wedding either, saying that Wang Yongan had gone to take the imperial examination (juren). Everything at home depended on him, so he just didn't come.

Seeing Zhao Ye's happy look, unlike other girls and boys who would cry before getting married, Zhao's mother felt a little sad: "Brother Ye, you have grown up in the blink of an eye and are going to get married. Don't blame your parents for what happened before. How can a boy of your age not get married? Your parents have always been criticized because of you. It was for your own good that we arranged for you to be married to the Liu family before."

Zhao's mother went on to say, "After you get married, you must serve your man well. He likes you now and doesn't care about your past. But after a while, he may not like you as much anymore and may not like you anymore. Give him a son as soon as you get married, and you will be established in his family."

Zhao Ye also felt a little upset. His parents had always favored boys over girls. But they had never treated him harshly since he was a child. He had been in trouble before and his engagement was broken off. Some bad-hearted people in the village even said that a boy like him who had lost his innocence should be thrown into a pig cage, but his mother scolded him and ran away with a hoe.

Although his parents loved him a little, compared with his third brother's future and studies, they were nothing and could be sacrificed at any time.

Blinking his eyes to control the tears from flowing down, Zhao Ye thought: It doesn't matter, he will have Brother Li in the future, Brother Li said that he loves him the most, only him.
