Chapter 165 Waiting

After meeting my sister and brother-in-law, the wedding date of Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen has been completely decided.

The next step is to prepare all kinds of preparations, and the etiquette must be in place.

As for etiquette, we naturally have to ask about Bai Suzhen’s family background and origin.

"I heard from Hanwen that Suzhen, you live in Qingbomen now, but you are not from Hangzhou Prefecture, right? You don't know where your hometown is, and who else are there at home?" Xu Jiaorong asked Bai Suzhen.

Xu Xian is a formal marriage, and all etiquettes must be in place. If Bai Suzhen is not from Hangzhou and has other elders at home, even if it is troublesome to propose marriage, she must be in place.

Bai Suzhen is not good at lying, and when Xu Jiaorong asked about it, she was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

Xiaoqing was also next to him, but he reacted quickly and immediately replied: "My lady lives in Furong City. When the master was alive, he was the general town and had a reputation on the battlefield. Now the two elders are back, and the lady has no support, so she came to Jiangnan to join her relatives. But after arriving in Jiangnan, her relatives are no longer there, so she had to live in Qingbo Gate temporarily."

The combination of Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian was already unstoppable. Xiaoqing already understood this, so he simply stopped doing the mantis arm as a chariot and did not make trouble.

Xu Xian smiled slightly when he heard this.

When he met Bai Suzhen, he treated him honestly. Bai Suzhen did not hide his identity, so naturally he no longer had to fabricate his identity. Unexpectedly, Xiaoqing still told this lie today.

There is no way, Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen can be open and honest because he is a cultivator. But his sister Xu Jiaorong is different from Li Gongfu. If he tells them directly that Bai Suzhen is not a human, but a thousand-year-old snake demon, I am afraid that no matter how enlightened Xu Jiaorong is, he will not be able to accept it.

Just like according to the original plot, Li Gongfu said worriedly when Bai Suzhen gave birth to a child: My sister-in-law is a thousand-year-old snake demon, so what exactly is it born? If you give birth to a human head, snake body or a human body, we will kill him; you know, snake lays eggs, if you give birth to an egg, we will throw it away; if you give birth to a person, thank God...

When Xu Shilin gave birth, he felt relieved and said: Chinese, congratulations, for giving birth to a neat son!

Therefore, when Xu Jiaorong and Li Gongfu did not know Bai Suzhen enough, Xu Xian was not going to tell them about Bai Suzhen's true identity.

After getting in touch with him for a long time, Xu Jiaorong learned about Bai Suzhen's personality and personality. Even if he knew that Bai Suzhen was a thousand-year-old snake demon, he would not object.

I heard that Bai Suzhen’s parents died and there were no relatives at home. This would make getting married much easier and more convenient. It would save a lot of process and just choose the nearest auspicious day.

So the wedding date was set at the end of April half a month later.

After confirming the time for marriage, Xu Xian's heart was settled like never before. Marrying Bai Suzhen was his long-cherished wish and would also be a new beginning for his life.

...

Although the divorce period is still half a month, it is quite cumbersome to decorate a new house and prepare all kinds of things needed for marriage, and half a month is not very affordable.

When Xu Xian was in Qiantang County, he lived with his sister and brother-in-law on weekdays. Now he would have to have a new house when he wanted to get married. However, now the sales of Yuewei Bookstore has spread throughout Jiangnan and many loyal readers. After Xu Xian won the first place in Jiangnan, the limelight has completely overwhelmed the Jinling Mansion Newspaper and has become the highest-selling mansion in Jiangnan!

Xu Xian’s pocket is now very bulging and his financial resources are amazing. It is very easy to buy a new house in Qiantang County.

It’s just that the number of weddings is not something that can be saved as long as you have money. Fortunately, Xu Jiaorong and Li Gongfu got married last year. With experience, under Xu Jiaorong’s support, Xu Xian didn’t need to worry too much, he just needed to wait to be the groom and welcome the guests.

There are many things to prepare for at the wedding, such as:

Scissors symbolize the flying of butterflies;

A spittoon symbolizes a bucket of descendants;

A piece of candy symbolizes sweetness;

A silver sash belt symbolizes a lot of money;

The vase symbolizes the blooming and prosperity of flowers;

The copper basin and shoes symbolize the unity until old age...

There are also dragon and phoenix quilts, bed sheets and pillows, and two pairs of chopsticks and bowls tied with red ropes. These are all essential things to buy at weddings.

In fact, for those who are practicing, these things do not value much, and it doesn’t matter whether they have them or not. But in Xu Jiaorong’s opinion, these things are essential and must be bought.

The closer the wedding is, the more Xu Xian feels that time is going.

Waiting is really a very painful thing. It is especially true that after the wedding date is determined, in Xu Jiaorong's words, Xu Xian can no longer go to date Bai Suzhen as often as before during this period. They can only meet on the day of the wedding.

This is simply a torment.

Xu Xian finally understood the impatient mood of many grooms. He had to sigh in his heart: Etiquette and other things are all clouds, and it is the main thing to send it into the bridal chamber quickly!

There was no way, and after sighing for a while, Xu Xian simply locked himself in his study, studied and wrote, and reviewed the classics of the Qiuxian Provincial Examination.

How to relieve worries? Only reading!

Finally, half a month passed, Xu Xian's new house was covered with the words "Happy" and the red carpet was laid. Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen's bride and groom's bride and groom's bride and groom's clothes were delivered to their respective hands.

Tomorrow, Xu Xian can ride a flower horse and lead the eight-carrying sedan chair to marry Bai Suzhen home.

"It's not bad, this groom suit is quite suitable." Xu Jiaorong looked at Xu Xian who walked out after trying on the groom suit, and was very satisfied.

Although she was a little reluctant to part with her younger brother and felt a little lost, which was roughly the same as her mother watching her son marry a wife, the happiness in her eyes could not be hidden.

It turned out that the two things she was most concerned about.

The first thing is that Xu Xian was able to obtain fame and honor the ancestors; the second thing is that Xu Xian was able to marry and have children, and to create branches and leaves for the Xu family.

After tomorrow, two major things she was thinking about would be accomplished.

"Hanwen, you got married in a hurry. If you had told me earlier, I would have done your bride and groom costumes for you two myself." Xu Jiaorong said with some regret.

Xu Xian knew that Xu Jiaorong was afraid that he was mixed up at this time, so he changed the subject and asked, "Why haven't you seen my brother-in-law recently?"

Xu Jiaorong shook his head and said, "He has been busy recently. It seems that something big has happened in the yamen. I don't know if he can come to your wedding tomorrow."

Xu Xian was shocked when he heard this and asked, "What's the big deal?"

Xu Jiaorong frowned and said with some concern: "Recently, two girls in Qiantang County have been killed by some evil thing. The death is very miserable. Your brother-in-law is taking someone to find the murderer..."

A girl was killed?

Xu Xian was shocked when he heard this and suddenly remembered something.
