The official simply hummed and began to follow the procedure: "You two's names, places of origin, grades..."

Xu Shu answered all the questions one by one, but he did not ask for any identity documents as Mu Jinghua said.

After the long series of questions and answers ended, Mu Jinghua breathed a sigh of relief.

But the official suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Where is your witness?"

"Witness?" Xu Shu was stunned. "What do you mean?"

"This is the new procedure stipulated above. Both parties need a relative or friend to witness the marriage to prevent human traffickers. Brother, can you please be considerate and send someone to call them?"

Xu Shu glanced at Mu Jinghua and said to the official, "Give us some time."

The official nodded: "Hurry up, I want to go home."

Xu Shu nodded and pulled Mu Jinghua to a corner: "Xiao Mujin, my name is Qiao Wan, yours is..."

Xu Shu suddenly fell silent. No one from the Bai Mansion could come, and Mu Tonghai was even more unreliable. Could it be that he wanted to call Qiao Jianhong?

Mu Jinghua also fell silent, thinking about his relatives and friends in the capital. For a moment, the only name that came to his mind was Xu Shu.

But he wanted to marry Xu Shu, and he couldn't ask Xu Shu to be his relative and witness the marriage.

Why do we have to have two witnesses?

His father, who depended on him for life, also died...

Thinking of this, Mu Jinghua suddenly felt a little sad.

Marrying Xu Shu was the biggest wish he had in his life. Now his wish and idea were about to come true, but he couldn't find someone who could truly be happy for him and wish him happiness.

At this moment, the official came out in a hurry and said to Xu Shu and Mu Jinghua anxiously, "Did you call anyone? If not, let's do it tomorrow. I'm going home now."

"No." Mu Jinghua was a little anxious, "Xu Shu has something to do tomorrow."

"The day after tomorrow, then." The official said indifferently, "I take a day off every ten days."

"No, no, it has to be today." Mu Jinghua frowned and looked at Xu Shu, almost crying, "What should I do?"

Xu Shu was embarrassed: "If it really doesn't work, you can just wait for my good news at home tomorrow..."

"No." Mu Jinghua shook his head anxiously, as if Xu Shu was not asking him to wait at home, but something about life and death, "I can't... I can't live without you."

"Little Hibiscus." Seeing that Mu Jinghua was not in good condition, Xu Shu panicked, "I won't leave you, but I will be away for a while tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and I will be back soon."

"No." Mu Jinghua refused to listen no matter what. He pulled Xu Shu's sleeve with one hand, looked at the official, and said pitifully, "Can you not have my witness? Please be flexible, sir."

"Little Hibiscus." Xu Shu felt so distressed and was about to speak to persuade her again.

Suddenly, a voice like a drake came from outside: "His senior brother will be the witness, okay?"

Mu Jinghua was stunned and couldn't tell who this person was for a moment.

But then someone else spoke up, it was Qi Huairen: "Master, is it ok?"

"And his elder brother Wu is here too." This is Wu Yong, with an exceptionally loud voice, "He came with his whole family."

"Well, Brother Jiang is here too." This is Jiang Xiao.

Following behind him was Jiang Xiangwan. He walked in front and pushed the door open first. Seeing Mu Jinghua's pitiful appearance, he said, "Brother Mu, don't be anxious."

The official was stunned for a moment, then looked at the crowd of people behind him, somewhat at a loss: "You...are all here to be witnesses?"

"Yes." The voices said in unison.

The officials had never seen such a grand scene before, and it was inappropriate for them to ask who the individuals were one by one, so they simply took the official seal and stamped it, and considered it done.

"Here." He handed the paper to Mu Jinghua, "Young Master, may you have a long and happy marriage."

"Thank you." Mu Jinghua took the paper a little shyly, touched it very carefully, and looked at Xu Shu in a trance.

"Husband." Xu Shu smiled at him.

"Call me husband." Wu Yong followed suit.

Mu Jinghua's face turned red instantly, but he still called out obediently.

"Master."

……

On the way back, Mu Jinghua was so excited that he didn't want to take the carriage, so the group walked back together.

He called Xu Shu "husband" and then embarrassedly pulled Jiang Xiangwan away. After the two chatted for a long time, Mu Jinghua became interested in Qu Xiu's hoarse voice again: "Brother, why did you become like this? Did you hurt your throat? Will it get better in the future?"

"It's the voice change period." Xu Shu explained and looked at Xu Shi, "Why are you here suddenly? Is there something wrong in Yuzhou?"

Xu Shi shook his head: "The batch of goods originally ordered for Qiao Er has been completed, but that guy said he didn't have time to pick it up, so we had to deliver it to him."

"I was afraid that others were unreliable, so I came here by myself. Young Master Jiang and his men are in Yuzhou, so everything is fine."

Wu Yong also said, "Qiao Jianhong is such a mean person. This incident didn't delay your honeymoon in Beijing, but it delayed Le Ge'er and I from coming to Beijing to see the world."

Li Zile smiled and said, "Since you left, my brother and my husband have taken over the mahjong parlor. Together they have invented many new ways to play. Now the business is booming. They are worried about having nowhere to show off, so they are looking forward to you two."

Wu Yongke was very proud when talking about this: "Some time ago, Master Jiang counted the water flow in various towns, and Qingshui Town far exceeded other large towns and ranked first."

"Xu Shu, you have a lot of property in Qingshui Town, and a lot of money. I suggest you stay in Beijing for a few days and then go back. That money is enough to comfort you for several lifetimes."

Xu Shu waved his hand and said indifferently: "They all belong to our little Mu Jin."

"That's right." Jiang Xiao remembered, "The most profitable industry in Qingshui Town is Muyi Building. In the future, Brother Xu may have to rely on Brother Mu for support."

This is a joke.

Xu Shu said seriously, "After the incident with the house in Shiqiao Village, the elders in the village heard that Muyi Building was Xiao Mujin's property, and they told me to please my husband when I return."

He looked at Mu Jinghua again: "Husband, am I doing well?"

Mu Jinghua ran away out of shame.

Everyone laughed out loud again.
