In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.

Chapter 723 The Queen Mother decides to marry Murong Jinshu and Bai Qingze

After the door was kicked open, the Queen Mother looked down at the two of them and scolded them harshly: "What are you two thinking? How old are you! Bai Qingze! You are almost 30 years old, how dare you say that you will get married in a while?!"

"Why, the war delayed your marriage?! You're not going to lead the troops to fight, so why can't you get married?!"

"And even if you lead troops to fight, you can still get married... Are you a woman with a big belly? You are riding a horse in the battlefield, and you are afraid that your belly will fall off, which is understandable!"

"Nowadays, the state affairs don't need you to worry about everything, but you are always afraid of delaying her for this...delaying her for that...you keep doing this day and that day, and when the war is over in a few years, Jinshu will be almost 20 years old! You are already over 30!"

"Wouldn't it really delay the two of you then?!"

Hearing this, Bai Qingze just felt bitter in his heart.

This...this...actually, national affairs really require one to take care of oneself.

The Queen Mother didn't know that she had received a military order and would probably have to go to the battlefield to fight.

If he was in danger of death on the battlefield, what would Murong Jinshu do? !

I was really afraid that I gave Murong Jinshu hope but could not give her happiness in life.

In the final analysis, it's just an escape.

Bai Qingze grew up in a single-parent family. He was hesitant and always worried that his marriage with Murong Jinshu would not be happy...which was understandable.

But now, facing the Queen Mother, Bai Qingze couldn't say a word. Facing Murong Jinshu... he couldn't say a word at all.

Murong Jinshu's tears burst out. She quickly pulled the Queen Mother and pleaded with her teeth: "... Queen Mother, please stop scolding the Third Young Master. The Third Young Master didn't mean to delay me."

"...Now, there is nothing we can do. Maybe we are not in the right time."

"What the hell is timing?!"

The Queen Mother made a prompt decision, "Jinshu's dowry is almost ready now, that is, the betrothal gifts. Your Bai family is rich enough to rival a country, so don't bother with those nonsense. Just give out the silver. The more silver the better! Military families don't always have to be so particular! In short, it's enough silver... Put it in the betrothal gift box. As long as we can lift 120 pieces, there will be no problem."

"I will personally take care of the three letters and six ceremonies for you!"

"That's it! Two months... No, no, no, at most one month! One month! I can personally organize your wedding!"

"??????"

After hearing this, Murong Jinshu and Bai Qingze were both dumbfounded.

The Queen Mother said cheerfully, "Now that we have the money, I will personally take care of your marriage, and it will be respectable. The rules are in place, so who would dare to say anything wrong?!"

"Although it's a bit hasty, but everything is ready, so what?!"

Bai Qingze suddenly fell silent.

He looked at the Queen Mother, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Murong Jinshu turned his head to look at Bai Qingze, and suddenly grabbed Bai Qingze's hand, and said to Bai Qingze solemnly: "Third Master... after you and I get married, if you have any orders to go to the battlefield, I agree."

It seemed that she had guessed that she had received the emperor's military order.

Hearing this, Bai Qingze suddenly felt a pang of sadness in his heart and was speechless.

Murong Jinshu knew everything, but he indulged himself in everything, pretending to be stupid and pretending to know nothing.

Murong Jinshu is so good...we must face it together.

Your behavior of blindly doing good for others may actually harm them.

Bai Qingze nodded heavily, his brows clear and straight, holding Murong Jinshu's hand, and said, "Okay, within a month, we will finish all the things! We won't bother my father-in-law and mother-in-law, we can just trouble the Queen Mother to take care of it."

"When the war is over, we will go to meet my parents-in-law... At worst, we can let them take care of it."

"In this way, whether it's a wedding in the capital or a wedding in Liangzhou, we both worship heaven and earth."

Murong Jinshu burst into tears immediately and nodded heavily to Bai Qingze. The two of them held each other's hands tightly.

It’s a pity that Bai Lu may not be able to come to this wedding.

Forget it, forget it. I’ll just hold a wedding in Beijing and let Bai Lu come.

The news that Bai Qingze was going to hold a wedding spread throughout Liangzhou in no time.

The people of Liangzhou saw that in such a large mansion in the city, servants and maids were constantly coming in and out.

The maids were carrying the dowry, the servants were carrying the betrothal gifts, the accountant was counting the money, and then a dozen matchmakers came to handle the formalities...

In ancient times, when wealthy and powerful families got married, the three books and six ceremonies were not something they took lightly.

The three books are: the engagement letter, the gift letter, and the welcoming letter.

The six rites are: accepting the bride’s proposal, asking for the bride’s name, accepting the bride’s good wishes, asking for the date, and welcoming the bride.

There are many details in each one.

Now they have only gone through the first two steps, which are accepting the bride price and asking for the bride's name. They have also issued the betrothal letter and have just finalized the engagement. There is still a lot of trouble to come.

When these matchmakers came to the door, they would bring respected elders from Liangzhou City to ask the gods for divination and to inquire about good and bad luck; and sometimes they would compare the gift lists with Bai Qingze.

It’s not that the matchmaker was very educated. She could see what was written on the gift list and what was missing. She simply... helped count the gift lists and helped to hold them for a while. The maids and the accountant around Murong Jinshu were almost going crazy with their busyness.

The Bai family really spent a lot of money to marry a daughter-in-law.

Bai Qingze planned to sort out the deeds of all the Bai family's properties in Liangzhou, including shops, paddy fields, manors, and hilltops, compare them one by one, and then use all of these things as betrothal gifts.

He went to the money shop and took out large sums of silver.

Every five taels of silver was worth a small ingot, and if a large box was filled with them, the total amount would be 5000 taels of silver. The two large boxes would be one load of betrothal gifts, and one load would cost 1 taels of silver.

It is estimated that these small ingots alone would require 20 taels of silver.

There are also various other items to be purchased... The purchase lists alone and the lists of various types of land are flying everywhere... The three accountants of the Bai family are not enough, and now a few more have been added, making a total of seven or eight accountants.

He calculated all night long without a break, but he had not yet finished calculating one third of the list.
