Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly

Qing He frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at the housekeeper and asked:

"Butler, why is Miss Cai still unmarried at the age of 23?"

The butler thought for a moment and said:

"My Lady, the Cai family is a family of elders from the three dynasties of the Great Xia. The grandfather of the current Lord Cai was once the Prime Minister. After his death, many of the Cai family's descendants served as officials in the court, but in Lord Cai's generation, the highest-ranking official was the Minister of Personnel.

This Miss Cai was once engaged to Zhuang Yanchen, the youngest son of the Great Xia's Protector of the Nation General. However, after Young Master Zhuang died on the battlefield, the two families broke off the engagement and allowed Miss Cai to marry on her own.

Originally, the matter would have been over, and the Cai family could have found a marriage for Miss Cai. However, Mr. Cai passed away at this time, so the Cai family observed mourning for another three years, and thus Miss Cai's marriage was delayed. "

Qing He asked, "What happened next?"

The butler coughed lightly, looked at Shangguan Jing, and continued:

"Later, at a palace banquet, someone unknown had an incident, but a few days after the banquet, word spread that Miss Cai and Shangguan Yi, who was then the second prince, were in love, and that she wanted to marry Shangguan Yi as a concubine.

Unexpectedly, one month before Miss Cai was to marry, Shangguan Yi was arrested and brought to justice, and their marriage was aborted.

After hearing what the butler said, everyone sighed.

"I didn't expect that Miss Cai's marriage would be full of twists and turns. She is also a poor girl." Qin sighed after hearing this.

Qing He nodded in agreement and said, "It is indeed quite a bumpy journey, but this is no reason for her to force someone to marry."

Everyone was silent for a moment, and Qinghe was the first to break the silence.

"Then why is Miss Cai pestering Daddy now? It can't be without reason."

Shangguan Jing frowned and said in a deep voice:

“As a father, I don’t know why she is so persistent.

A few days ago, after the court session, I told Lord Cai about this matter and clearly rejected Miss Cai. He said he would persuade her when he returned and would not let Miss Cai do what she wanted. "

Qing He stared and thought for a while, then said slowly:

"It's obvious that Master Cai didn't persuade her, or he still supports Miss Cai to marry in.

Therefore, we need to first figure out Ms. Cai’s purpose.”

Baili Ye nodded slightly to show his agreement.

"Xiao He is absolutely right. We need to investigate Miss Cai and the Cai family's recent movements and motives."

Qin looked worried and said softly, "Don't make a big fuss. After all, the influence of the Cai family in the court cannot be underestimated."

Qing He held Qin's hand tightly and comforted her softly:

"Mom, don't worry. We will handle it carefully and will never let the Cai family take advantage of it."

"Okay, with you around, I feel more at ease. Remember to be careful in everything you do." Qin warned.

Qing He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mom. You can trust me to do the job! Now, the most important thing we should do is to arrange Fourth Uncle's marriage."

Qin was in a good mood and said with a smile:

"Qing He is right. No matter how important the matter is, let's put it aside for now and arrange your fourth uncle's marriage first. There must be no mistakes."

Everyone's topic then turned to Chu Laosi's wedding.

Qing He was the first to speak: "Mom, how are the preparations for Fourth Uncle's wedding going? Are the wedding dress and wedding gown all right?"

Qin smiled and replied:

"Don't worry, Qinghe. The wedding dress and wedding gown are ready. They are carefully made by the best tailors in our clothing shop. The style and embroidery are second to none.

And the wedding quilts on the wedding beds are all the latest styles from our clothing shop."

Qingli said excitedly:

"Sister, I saw those wedding dresses, they are so beautiful, the embroidery on them looks like real ones. And the wedding quilts are also styles I have never seen before, and most importantly, they are soft and comfortable to the touch, so beautiful."

Qing He touched Qing Li's head and said with a smile, "That must be very beautiful. By the way, Dad and Mom, have you decided on the dishes for Fourth Uncle's wedding banquet?"

Shangguan Jing said:

"The dishes for the wedding banquet have also been decided. They are all in accordance with the traditional customs of Daxia, and all the best ingredients are selected. When the time comes, the chefs from the restaurant will come over to cook, and they will definitely satisfy the guests."

"How many banquets have we prepared?"

Shangguan Jing thought for a moment and replied:

"We have tentatively booked fifty tables. After all, your fourth uncle's father-in-law is an official in the capital, and your fourth uncle has made a lot of friends recently. In addition to our relatives and friends in our house, as well as some colleagues in the court, these fifty tables should be about the same.

But we have also arranged for people to be ready to adjust according to the actual situation at any time. If there are more people, we will add more tables and seats.”

Qinghe nodded and said:

“Fifty tables should be enough, but we still have to ensure that the dishes are supplied in a timely manner. If there is a shortage, I can make up for it.

How is the wedding venue being arranged?"

Qin continued:

“The venue has been almost decorated in a festive style.

Red ribbons and lanterns are hung everywhere, which looks very festive. "

Thinking that the Cai family might come to the wedding banquet, Qing He reminded:

"Dad, Mom, on the day of the wedding banquet, you must arrange for servants to take good care of the guests, and the tables for men and women must be separated to avoid any chaos."

Shangguan Jingzhi nodded and replied:

"Qing He is right, I will pass it on.

Now we are ready for everything, just waiting for the second day of February when your fourth uncle will come to pick up the bride.

When the time comes, we will surely bring the bride back in a lively and smooth manner."

Qing Yue said: "I also want to join the wedding procession, it must be very interesting."

Shangguan Jing smiled and said:

"You are still young. You can join the wedding procession when you grow up. For now, just help out in the mansion and entertain the guests."

Qinghe said:

"Uncle Four's wedding will definitely be very lively. Our family must help to make Uncle Four an unforgettable wedding."

After saying that, Qing He looked at Chu Lao Si and asked with a smile: "Fourth Uncle, how do you feel now? Are you looking forward to it?"

Chu Laosi's face turned red, and he touched his head and smiled foolishly: "Qinghe, stop teasing me."

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw Chu Laosi's appearance.

Qingli said mischievously: "Fourth Uncle is shy."

Qin looked at Chu Lao Si tenderly and said:

"Old Four, this is a big event in life, it's normal to be nervous. You must treat the girl well in the future."

Chu Lao Si nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, Second Sister-in-law, I will definitely treat her well."

Shangguan Jing was in a relaxed mood and said to Qinghe and Bailiye, "You have worked hard on the journey. Go and have a rest first. We can talk about other things after you have rested in the afternoon."

Qing He shook his head and refused:

“No, we rested well before coming. By the way, before we came to Daxia, we went back to the village and met the village head and the villagers.

We all miss you very much. We heard that Fourth Uncle is getting married, so we were asked to bring gifts. Although they are not expensive, they are also appreciated by the villagers. "

After saying that, Qinghe took out the gifts brought by the villagers from the space and gave them to Chu Laosi.

"Uncle Four, this is a gift from everyone. Please keep it."
