Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape

After buying the wedding dress, of course you will need festive items such as red candles, red silk, and some wedding candies and cakes. As for wooden trays and bath tubs, you can buy them in the village where there are carpenters.

Xin Ye's bamboo basket was filled to the brim, and Yan Yiyi was carrying large and small bags on both sides of her hands.

The two men came to the county government office again. The gatekeeper was stunned when he saw them. It was the first time that someone came to the county government office with large and small bags, as if they were visiting relatives.

The yamen runner on the left couldn't help but joked: "Hey, brother, are you getting rich?"

"No, no, I got the adults' help this morning to get my husband and me a marriage contract. We are here to buy some items for the wedding. Come on, come on, take some of the good luck. This is our wedding candy."

Xin Ye cheerfully took out a bag of candy from his backpack, grabbed a handful and stuffed them into his hands, then limped to the other side and gave them to another yamen runner.

"Congratulations, brother!"

"Congratulations, I wish you two a happy marriage and a baby soon."

"Thank you, thank you. We won't disturb you two on duty. Let's go in and distribute wedding candies to other people first!" Xin Ye's face was flushed and he was grinning. Anyone could see that there was a happy event at home.

Yan Yiyi pretended to be shy and lowered her head, and followed him in obediently, secretly admiring Xin Ye's acting skills.

Although they agreed to develop feelings, her vigilance towards him did not decrease. She was just more curious about what secrets he was hiding.

Yes, she never felt any malice from him from the beginning to the end. Even when he learned that her last name was Yan and her identity might bring him trouble or wealth, he always remained indifferent.

It felt like her identity was not important to him, and he took action simply because she had saved him, even if it meant sacrificing his marriage and the unreasonable conditions she proposed.

Such a person may be very scheming or he may have no desires. If it is the former, she can only accept her fate. She cannot defeat such an old fox. The worst that can happen is that they will die together. If it is the latter, she will get a great bargain.

All in all, there is a long way to go, so let's wait and see.

It's just one life, she can afford the risk!

Xin Ye handed out wedding candies as he walked along. The brothers and uncles who came to testify did not expect to receive wedding candies and they all congratulated him.

They were not angry at him for lying, for it was proved that the man was indeed a kidnapper and he deserved the punishment, except that his wife had never married into their family and it only took her noon for her to get married.

The young man distributed wedding candies, and there were many items for the wedding in the bamboo basket. It was obvious that he planned to hold the wedding after returning home. The lie became true, so why bother about it.

A young man asked curiously: "Brother, how dare you trouble the official to arrange a marriage contract for you? It costs money to arrange a marriage contract, it's not worth it."

Xin Ye replied: "Brother, you are wrong. It is a wise decision for our Zhao country to popularize marriage registration laws.

I'm giving you an example, I hope you don't mind.

Suppose there is a young man in your village who is very good at studying. He and your sister are childhood sweethearts. They held a wedding banquet in the presence of their family and villagers, but did not go to the government to get a marriage contract. However, to us country people, they are a legitimate couple.

One day, the young man passed the imperial examination and was chosen as a son-in-law by the imperial court. The young man wanted a young and beautiful wife and a Yue family who could help him rise to the top, so he arranged a marriage with the girl.

One day, you discovered that he had abandoned your girl, and you went to the government to sue him. The name of the rich girl, not the country girl, was written on his marriage contract. According to the law, the rich girl was his first wife.

If he had a conscience, he would make the girl from the countryside his concubine. If he had no conscience, he would just abandon her without even writing a divorce letter.

But if the young man had held his wedding with the country girl and then went to the government office to get a marriage contract, the government would definitely determine that the country girl was the principal wife, and the daughter of the rich man would be a concubine no matter what, and would always be superior to the country girl.

Do you understand? "

The group of grown men were dumbfounded. It turned out to be like this. They didn’t expect that the marriage contract was so important!

“It’s just ten cents. You brothers are all capable people. Can’t you earn ten cents to get a marriage contract?

As for what you said about it being troublesome, it is indeed troublesome, but our magistrate and legal advisor are both good officials who are dedicated to doing practical things for us ordinary people. In order to safeguard our rights, they are happy to help.

If the law had not stated that a fee of ten cents must be charged, our elders would definitely not have collected our hard-earned money. However, the elders' salaries are not high, and they also have families to support. They can help one or two people with ten cents, but how many people are there in our county?

We can't all suck the blood of adults. We can't bully others just because they are good officials. Don't you think this makes sense?"

"Yes! Our county magistrate and the master are both good officials. We cannot bully their kindness. We must protect them."

"That's right. The two adults have been so worried about us these years. Tomorrow I will bring some wild mushrooms from home for him to try. They are not worth much, but it is just a small token of our gratitude for their hard work for us ordinary people."

"I have a lot of vegetables in my garden. When we go to the market, I'll bring some for you to taste. My vegetables are delicious and tender."

"Whose family doesn't have vegetables? I still have eggs at home. I'll give you eggs!"

……

The magistrate and the legal advisor who were standing at the corner were so moved by their heartfelt words that their eyes could not help but become red.

At this moment, they felt that all their efforts over the years were not in vain.

The two of them looked at Xin Ye at the same time, and their evaluation of him increased a bit. They kept this young man in mind.

Xin Ye seemed to be talking to Yan Yiyi, but in fact he had just withdrawn his gaze from observing the two adults. With his hearing, he had already noticed the movements of the two adults, and just as the young man happened to ask a question, he took the opportunity to speak well of them.

As a way of repaying them for helping her with her household registration today.

Yan Yiyi was not as sharp-eyed and sharp-eared as him, and did not know that the two parties were eavesdropping not far away. She looked at Xin Ye in confusion, always feeling that he was planning something.

Xin Ye's original intention was just to let the two "good officials" listen to the people's sincere words, soothe their frustrated hearts, and continue to work hard for the people. In this way, he would not have to worry about other corrupt officials coming to disturb their peaceful lives.

He didn't expect that because of his words, after these masters went back to their hometown to spread the word, many villagers came to the government office to get marriage contracts. Then the news spread to the market, and the people of Guyang County all remembered to get married and went to get marriage contracts.

Many people discovered that their sons-in-law had ill intentions because of the marriage contract and thus avoided the evil ambitions of some people. Some people also married a bad man who had a bad ending because of the marriage contract and failed to deceive other good girls.

After one incident after another was reported, everyone realized the importance of marriage contracts, and the people of Guyang County had a major reversal of ideas. They recognized marriage contracts more than wedding banquets, and marriage contracts could not be faked, and wedding banquets could be held many times.
