Chapter 975: Proposal (3)
Since he was born, Ji Wanfu has been loved by the old Duke. He even wanted to pass the title to him instead of his son. If the Queen Mother had not disapproved, he would have done so long ago.
Ji Wanfu also knew how precious he was, so he had always been spoiled and fearless. He ate, drank, gambled, and did everything in the capital, but no one dared to say a word against him, even the princes had to give him some leeway.
It was precisely because of this that he dared to kidnap the legitimate daughter who had escaped from the Anguo Mansion and make her his plaything!
Du Wanqiu looked at the man who was walking away sadly, and her heart felt like it was being plucked out of her. Looking at the man's spirited expression when he was betrothing her, and then looking at the generosity of the betrothal gifts, it was clear how much he valued this wedding. If, at this moment, the person he was betrothing was her, how great it would be. If she could be his wife for a day, she would be willing to die!
The little girl beside her was so overwhelmed by the betrothal gifts that her eyes almost popped out. She didn't realize it until the betrothal team walked away. She pushed Du Wanqiu, who was in a daze, and said, "Miss, let's go quickly. If we go too late, it will be troublesome if the first wife is bought by someone else!"
"Oh, let's go!"
Du Wanqiu smiled bitterly, wiped the tears that flowed down her face, followed the little girl back to the carriage, and went to the pawnshop...
"Fellow villagers, today It's the auspicious day when our King Qin is going to propose marriage, let's celebrate together----"
With a loud and festive shout, a large basket of wedding money was scattered on the roadside, attracting people to rush over and grab it. Before they finished grabbing it here, a large basket of wedding candy was scattered over there...
All the way, people followed closely, some to grab the wedding money and candy, some to enjoy the excitement, attracting thousands of people to empty the streets and the whole city. It took two hours to walk a distance that could be covered in half an hour!
Nangong Yi brought the betrothal gifts to the manor in the suburbs of Beijing. Caiwei had already asked people to exchange several large baskets of copper coins at the bank and bought a lot of wedding cakes, which were scattered outside the manor in baskets. Yu Shi and the people caused a big stir again...
The betrothal gifts entered the manor, and Mu Zhongqing and his wife were already sitting in the main hall waiting. Nangong Yi walked in, lifted his robe elegantly, knelt in front of the two, and said: "The son-in-law meets his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and pays his respects to them!"
Mu Zhongqing and Du Shi were so excited that they didn't know what to say. The one kneeling below was the legitimate prince of the Great Jin Kingdom, the only son of the emperor and empress, who was incomparably precious. But at this moment, he actually knelt in front of them respectfully, with a humble and submissive look, which made them feel proud and proud of their daughter while feeling proud of their faces.
"King Qin, no, Yi'er, get up and talk!"
Mu Zhongqing personally stepped forward, helped Nangong Yi up, and let him sit on the armchair next to him to talk.
Today, Caiwei performed the ceremony of accepting the marriage. Mu Zhongqing specially invited Cao Jin, Mu Laoliu and the shopkeepers of several shops in his family to watch the ceremony early in the morning. Caiwei hid in her boudoir according to the etiquette and did not come out to meet them.
Seeing that the King Qin was such a talent and was so respectful and reasonable, everyone could not help but envy Mu Zhongqing and his wife. Everyone congratulated Zhongqing and his wife and the King Qin, saying flattering and polite words. After a few words, Nangong Yi stood up and bowed, saying: "Father and mother-in-law, the national teacher has calculated three auspicious days for marriage, which are the fifth day of next month, the eighteenth day of July and the fifteenth day of August. Father and mother-in-law, can you choose a suitable day from them, so that the son-in-law can marry Wei'er back to the King Qin's mansion in a grand manner."
