Ji Lan's eyes were full of gratitude, and she quickly waved her hand, "Hehe, what are you saying? If it weren't for Lady Han a few days ago, I'm afraid..."

Han Nvjun got into the marriage because she saved our Chen'er.

We are so grateful, how could we possibly blame you?

We are truly embarrassed to have troubled Lord Han to come in such a hurry.

Mr. Han smiled and said, "We are all parents, who wouldn't be good to their child!"

Now that this has happened, let's finalize the marriage as soon as possible!

This will also prevent rumors from further damaging the children's reputation!

Upon hearing this, the Ji family lord was overjoyed and said with a face full of satisfaction, "Ah, Lord Han is very thoughtful."

I just wonder what kind of arrangements Lord Han thinks this marriage should have?

I didn't expect Lord Han to be such a straightforward person; he didn't beat around the bush at all!

Han's father looked the two of them over and then said, "Our marriage is not like other families', where we can put off preparations for a year or two."

But now Xuan'er has her exams, and I'm afraid that even if it's close by, I won't be able to spare the time!

How about we schedule it for early August? Firstly, all the candidates for the provincial examinations in Xuan'er's household have already finished!

"If we can focus on preparing for the wedding, how about we leave the rest of the pre-wedding arrangements to you two?"

Ji Lan and the head of the Ji family exchanged a glance and nodded to each other, indicating their satisfaction.

"Hehe, Lord Han's arrangement is excellent. Early August is just right. How about we set the date for the sixth day? What do you think, Lord Han?"

Han's father nodded with a smile, not expecting the head of the Ji family to make a decision so quickly.

"Alright, then let's set the date for the sixth day of the eighth month. As for the betrothal gifts, I'd like to ask the two of you..."

Before Han's father could finish speaking, Ji Lan interrupted him, "Hehe, this betrothal gift is just a formality."

One hundred taels of silver also symbolizes a long and happy marriage. What do you think, in-laws?

The Han family and Ji Xiao jointly opened a shop called Ningxiang Pavilion.

Xiaoxiao said their business seemed to be doing very well, so she didn't ask any further questions.

Judging from the clothes and appearance of Han's father and Shen Qingxi, they should be quite well-off.

One hundred taels should be within their means. If they ask for more, the Han family shouldn't let them deliberately make things difficult for them.

Mr. Han frowned and hesitated before speaking, "My daughter gave the betrothal money to Mistress Ji..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ji Lan waved her hand and said, "Hey, in-law, we'll be family soon!"

The amount of the dowry doesn't matter, as long as the children are happy!

"Oh, right! Now that the marriage has been arranged, has Zixuan's betrothal letter been brought?"

"I've already prepared my son Chen'er's birth chart!"

Ji Lan quickly turned her gaze to her master, who immediately understood and handed over Ji Beichen's birth certificate from his wide sleeve.

Han's father was somewhat bewildered, unable to keep up with the Ji family head's pace, and looked at the betrothal money his daughter had given him.

She silently handed over Han Zixuan's birth certificate as well!

"Hehe, then let's do as Mistress Ji wishes!"

After exchanging betrothal gifts, Ji Lan looked at the name Han Zixuan written on her hand!

He happily stuffed the betrothal gift into his bosom, and the head of the Ji family also had a smile on his face.

"Once the birth charts are exchanged, we'll be family!"

"Chen'er, hurry up and pay your respects to your future wife's father and your future lord!"

Ji Beichen wore a moon-white brocade robe, with cloud patterns embroidered in silk thread appearing and disappearing, and a light blue silk sash tied around his waist, from which hung a piece of mutton-fat jade.

Her face was as white as jade, with a faint pink hue, as delicate as a peach blossom in early spring.

Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, resembling verdant hills, and her eyes beneath them were bright and deep, as if they held a sky full of stars.

Her long, jet-black hair was tied up high with a white jade hairpin.

She was very elegant and dignified, and slowly walked to the center of the living room.

After bowing to everyone, Ji Lan nodded with satisfaction, "Chen'er, quickly greet your future father-in-law and lord!"

Ji Beichen responded and bowed respectfully before Han's father.

The Ji family patriarch smiled and asked, "Is Lord Han satisfied with my son?"

Mr. Han looked him up and down, his eyes full of smiles.

He said to the Ji family members, "Hehe, I am naturally very satisfied with such a well-mannered young master!"

As she spoke, she took a golden begonia hairpin from her hair.

"I didn't bring any valuable gifts for you today, but this golden begonia hairpin suits you quite well."

Consider this a small gift to you!

In Fenglin Kingdom, if a woman's family elders are engaged, they will give the young man they have chosen jewelry and other items!

As a gift to express satisfaction with the young man, it also makes the groom's family feel that the in-laws are very well-mannered and knowledgeable.

Originally, Han's father didn't understand, after all, no family in the countryside had ever had several husbands!

It was the matchmaker who specifically instructed him to do this; wealthy families in Mingxi County all did it this way.

Respectable families would give gold and silver jewelry, while ordinary families would give some cloth or purses!

After careful consideration, Han's father realized that the Ji family was no ordinary family.

Besides, he already has a lot of jewelry, all bought for him by Xuan'er. Choosing just one piece would be enough, and it would make the Han family look more presentable.

Han's father got up and came to Ji Beichen's side. Ji Beichen slightly bent his knees, and Han's father nodded when he saw his action.

She placed the golden begonia hairpin in Ji Beichen's hair.

The Ji family members all wore expressions of joy and were very satisfied with this!

Ji Beichen slowly lowered his head. "Thank you, Lord Han!"

Then he got up and bowed to Shen Qingxi.

"Greetings, Lord Shen!" Shen Qingxi returned the greeting, her eyes full of smiles!

Ji Beichen felt relieved when he saw Shen Qingxi's smiling face.

She obediently sat down four feet below Shen Qingxi!

Seeing the harmonious atmosphere between the two, Han's father looked pleased.

Ji Lan then instructed the servants to serve tea, and the people in the room began to chat!

Han Zixuan and Ji Xiao from Mingjing Hall were walking together on their way to the dining hall!

Ji Xiao approached with a big smile, "Future brother's wife, today I'm treating you to a meal at Zuixianlou!"

Mingxi County is such a small place, and the most famous place it has is Zuixianlou!

It's been almost two months since they took the bow!

The shopkeeper there probably doesn't remember them anymore!

Han Zixuan chuckled at her awkward way of addressing her, "If I could, I'd rather you call me sister. Don't you think 'brother's wife' sounds like a 'murder weapon'?"

Ji Xiao scratched her head, looking thoughtful. "Brother's wife," "murder weapon," "Heh, indeed. From now on, I'll call you Sister Zixuan!"

Han Zixuan simply nodded slightly and said casually.

"I have some personal matters to attend to today, so I'm afraid I won't be able to have dinner with you!"

She wanted to see a good show, and if she brought Ji Xiao along, she was afraid that the guy's loud and boisterous manner would expose her again!

Ji Xiao looked dejected. "Oh, you're so busy? Okay then!"

Han Zixuan went alone to the private room on the second floor of Zuixianlou and found the room she had chosen.

Han Zixuan lit an incense stick inside and covered her mouth and nose with a veil.

Then they quickly left and went to a private room next door!

They quickly called over a waiter and ordered a few of their favorite dishes.

Then I also packed a braised duck! Now I'm just waiting for the show to begin.

Soon, footsteps came from upstairs. "Young master, please slow down. Young master Liu, really, why did you choose this time to invite you to lunch?"
