Although his heart was full of doubts, Fu Youqin still maintained a calm expression and accepted the two famous invitation cards.

The two matchmakers thought she would say something. After all, one of the proposed marriages was the prince, and the other was the eldest son of the Zhou family in Qingyang. If it was someone else, it would not be a gaffe, but at least it could be seen that she was obviously happy.

But this wife of the Fu family, whose family background is not considered prominent, acted like a normal person after accepting the invitation.

There was even a slight hint of displeasure.

After accepting the famous post and saying a few polite words, he issued a tactful order to expel them, "Marriage is not a trivial matter. I still need to see what the two children mean."

This means that I can't promise today, and I have to go back and wait for the news.

The matchmaker of the palace wiped the cold sweat from his brow, got up and said eagerly: "The prince and Mr. Fu are in love with each other. It is not easy to be married without fear of the world. This may be a marriage bestowed by God..."

The matchmaker also listed the achievements of the prince, even when he was nearly [-] years old and didn't even have a house, he mentioned how clean and self-sufficient he was.

However, Fu Youqin just nodded lightly, "He's a good boy." Then he disappeared.

The matchmaker's face turned pale, knowing that he would not be able to hand in the errand when he went back today, he sat back with a dejected expression.

The matchmaker of Zhou's family saw that the other party failed to return, and did not give up. He took the time to praise Zhou Chuanqing, saying that Mr. Zhou and Ms. Fu are really talented and beautiful, and they are a match made in heaven.

Fu Youqin waited for her to finish speaking, then pinched the center of her brows lightly, and said in a gentle voice, "Both of them are good children, but marriage is an important matter, so don't be hasty."

The look of anticipation on the face of Zhou's matchmaker also dimmed.

Since there was no reply for the time being, the four of them couldn't stay for a long time, so they got up, said goodbye and left.

Those of the four who came together or went back together, the two matchmakers looked at each other and sighed together.

"How can I go back to work this time?"

Chu Xiangtian and Zhou Chuanqing were sitting and drinking tea in the lobby of the inn. Chu Xiangtian squinted at Zhou Chuanqing complacently, and comforted him kindly, "Although Miss Fu didn't say a few words to you, Aunt Fu treats you as well." So-so, but you still have a chance, remember, sincerity and sincerity will yield gold and stone.”

Zhou Chuanqing: "..."

Glancing at Chu Xiangtian, he said displeasedly, "It's better to worry about yourself if you have free time."

Chu Xiangtian smiled, "What should I worry about?"

Before he finished speaking, he saw that the proposer had already returned, and the four people who walked in did not look happy at all.

Chu Xiangtian who just said something: "..."

The matchmakers were thinking about their own words and dared not speak. Chu Xiangtian tapped his fingers on the table with an uneasy expression, "What's going on?"

The matchmaker trembled and dared not open his mouth. Chu Xiangtian had always been a grumpy and unreasonable killing god in the eyes of outsiders. Before coming here, the matchmaker thought it was a good job, but now that he was face to face with the killing god, he regretted it.

The head manager watched him grow up, so he was not very afraid, and came out with a smile to smooth things over, "Mrs. Fu said that we need to think more about marriage, and haven't given an accurate word yet."

Zhou Chuanqing beside him laughed gloatingly, and imitated his tone just now and said in a strange tone: "What should I worry about?"

Chu Xiangtian: "..."

The gloomy people here still don't forget to run on each other, but the atmosphere of the Fu family is much more harmonious.

After the four proposed marriage left, Fu Youqin thought for a while, then turned and went to Fu Shuyue's yard.

The young lady who hasn't left the cabinet rarely goes out, so Fu Shuyue doesn't know what happened today. At this time, she is sitting in the room, embroidering a purse with the maid.

The purse has a light blue background, with green bamboo mostly embroidered on it, and a small poem embroidered next to the bamboo, which is exquisite and elegant, but it doesn't look like it belongs to my daughter.

Fu Youqin moved her mind, asked the maid to go down, sat down beside her, and asked calmly, "For Youling?"

Fu Shuyue paused, raised her eyes slightly, and neither said yes nor no.

That's right, Fu Youqin knew it, and said casually: "Today, another matchmaker came to your door and wanted to propose marriage to you."

"Mother..." Fu Shuyue inserted the embroidery needle into the embroidered cloth, frowned slightly and said, "I'm not in a hurry."

Fu Youqin sighed. Fu Shuyue had her own opinions since she was a child, but she was also very thoughtful, and kept many things in her heart.

"The person who proposes marriage is from the Zhou family."

Fu Shuyue's eyebrows moved, and she suddenly looked up at her. She wanted to ask something but didn't have the nerve to ask, her cheeks flushed slightly.

Girls who have not been out of the court are always not good at getting too much contact with outsiders. Even if feelings arise secretly, they don't dare to get too close, and they can't even say it out loud.

She actually wanted to ask which Zhou family it was, and if it was Zhou Chuanqing, but she was afraid that it would be an empty joy, so she lowered her head and twisted the embroidery needle again, "Has mother seen anyone?"

Fu Youqin sighed softly, "I've seen it, he is the eldest son of the Zhou family in Qingyang, the servant of the Ministry of War, and he has a good family background and character."

The embroidered hand trembled slightly, and the secret expectation in her heart was shattered. Fu Tian told her that Zhou Chuanqing's family had fallen, and now he was alone.

She hesitated to refuse, "Qingyang City is too far away, I want to be closer to home."

Fu Youqin felt helpless and distressed, touched her side face, and said in a warm voice: "Now there are only us mother and daughter, so it's not shameful to tell mother what's going on."

Fu Shuyue lowered her eyelashes, thought for a moment, and said in a faint voice: "I, I have someone I like..."

"It's Zhou Chuanqing, right?" Fu Youqin said firmly.

"Mother?" Fu Shuyue looked at her in surprise, and Fu Youqin smiled helplessly, "The eldest son of the Zhou family in Qingyang... is Zhou Chuanqing, and his identity as a bandit is just a cover."

Fu Shuyue was stunned for a while, then murmured: "I said that with his talent and learning, he shouldn't be just a bandit."

Fu Youqin naturally wouldn't be a hindrance to Lang's concubine, so she asked Fu Ji to answer the conversation in person the next day, and both marriages were agreed.

Zhou Chuanqing was in a trance like a dream, "I thought it would take a while longer."

He didn't expect it to be so smooth. He wandered around the room, grabbed the matchmaker and asked, "Is it time to send the dowry? When will the wedding date be fixed?"

The matchmaker also heaved a sigh of relief, confused by his reaction, and said: "It's still early, and I have to invite Miss Fu's horoscope to write the name. If the horoscope matches, I can accept the levy."

Zhou Chuanqing was in a hurry, "Then you hurry up, go back and reward yourself!"

Chu Xiangtian crossed his arms, glanced at him contemptuously, and commented: "I'm really not steady, I don't have the slightest demeanor of a nobleman, shame on me."

Zhou Chuanqing ignored him, beaming and went to count the betrothal gifts again.

The matchmaker went to Fu's mansion with Fu Ji. After asking about Fu Shuyue's birth date, the matchmaker of the Zhou family wrapped Zhou Chuanqing's token in a red cloth and handed it over.Inside is the mandarin duck jade pendant and inscription paper that Zhou Chuanqing had given earlier.

Fu Shuyue's return gift was a purse embroidered by herself.

Not to be outdone, the matchmaker of the royal residence handed over a wooden box that Chu Xiangtian had given to him. The matchmaker didn't dare to look at it, but he heard the prince mention that it contained all his wealth.

After the small wooden box was delivered to the screen, Fu Tian opened it and took a look. It contained stacks of land deeds and documents. The documents clearly stated that all Zhuangzi's shops were transferred to Fu Tian, ​​and they were all in the government. For those who passed Ming Road, the bottom one was the land deed of Prince Yu's Mansion, which was also given to Fu Tian.

It really is all of King Yu's net worth.

Fu Tian pursed her lips and smiled, thought for a while and went back to the yard to find the bronze key, and gave it to Chu Xiangtian as a token.

After exchanging geng posts and taking the token, the matchmaker said goodbye with a smile and left. He went to do the horoscope first, and after the horoscope was completed, the two families communicated.

It took three days to combine the horoscopes, and the horoscopes of the two couples are very compatible, which is a sign of great auspiciousness.

On the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, Na Zheng.

Sifang Town was blocked early in the morning.Before dawn, Prince Yu's Mansion and Zhou's carriage drove into the town one after another.

Although the two groups of people were going in the same direction, they walked in a clear and distinct way. The carriages were all tied with bright red silk and satin, and there were small flags on the carriages, with the words "Zhou Family" and "Prince Yu's Mansion" written on them.

The Fu family kept a low profile, even though the two marriages were completed, they didn't say anything to the public, but they couldn't bear the fact that matchmakers always went to the Fu family these days, and those who are interested can get a general idea as long as they pay more attention.

But it is not uncommon for the son and daughter of the Fu family to be engaged together. What is rare is that the two engaged, one is said to be King Yu, the God of War of the Great Chu, and the other is said to be the Minister of the Ministry of War, who came from the Qingyang family.

How rare is this? !The small Sifang Town has never even seen a bigger official, let alone two such noble figures came at once.

The people in Sifang Town were all excited, as lively as the New Year, even the government was alarmed, they hurried to the inn to visit the two Buddhas, and even sent officers and soldiers to clear the road.

On the day of Nazheng, several streets in Sifang Town were filled with officers and soldiers, Prince Yu’s Mansion and Zhou’s team occupied half of the area, and two butlers stood side by side at the gate of Fu’s family singing salutes, one from Prince Yu’s Mansion, the other from Zhou family's one after another, as if comparing each other.

The long line of carriages did not go in, waiting for the servants to remove the cages on the carriages, and then went out of the city in the other direction, so as not to block the road.

The ceremony officer had read the long list of gifts for an hour, but the boxes and cages on the carriage were not moved until the afternoon. Fortunately, the Fu family was big enough and the yard couldn't be piled up, so they put it in the empty guest courtyard. The huge Fu Mansion was filled to the brim.

The onlookers followed suit for a day. They had never seen such a grand marriage proposal. There were so many convoys carrying dowry gifts that they could surround the entire Sifang Town. How important was this?

The Fu family is about to develop.

There are many rich people, but it is rare to be rich and expensive. Now the Fu family has a relationship with the imperial city thanks to a pair of children.

However, this was not enough. After the betrothal gifts were moved, the chief executive who followed showed a full expression, and took out the imperial decree that he was carrying, and read it aloud:

"In the third year of the beginning of Pingchu, the emperor of Dachu said: I have heard that you are virtuous, and you are rewarded with talent. [-] households, [-] households sealed by Shi Shi... hereditary, no replacement, hereby."

After the imperial decree was read, there was a long silence all around, Fu Tian pursed his lips, took the imperial decree with solemn hands and thanked him.

The head manager smiled, "Congratulations to Kanglehou."

Fu Huang invited them into the mansion, leaving only the people outside who were in an uproar after reacting.
