Chapter 370 Ji Keqian's Mother's Wedding
Xie Ling returned to the study to deal with today's marriage application.
To get married in Sinan, boys must be over 20 years old and girls must be over 18 years old.
As she watched, Xie Ling's eyes suddenly lit up.
This is........
She looked carefully at the two names on the application form, fearing that she had read them wrong.
Ji Ke, Song Qian.
Isn’t this Ji Ke and Qian Niang?
Everyone who was exiled with him knew that Ji Ke had been pursuing Qian Niang.
But Qianniang didn't know whether she didn't like him or because she felt inferior about having a son, she always ignored him and often avoided him.
Could it be that he really caught up with him?
Xie Ling quickly asked his subordinates to call Wu Zhengqing to the study.
I originally wanted to call Gao Wanhua, but suddenly I remembered that Gao Wanhua had gone with me to sell salt, so I had to give up.
Wu Zhengqing was originally handling miscellaneous matters for two households under her command.
The two families were refusing to give in to each other and were swearing at each other, almost wanting to fight.
"I clearly heard that your father-in-law came to the fields late at night yesterday. It must be your family members who deliberately trampled on my fields! Damn it, the seedlings have just grown!"
"My father-in-law was just draining water from the fields! How could he have stepped on your fields? These vegetables in the fields are all public property, so we dare not do that!"
"You're still making excuses!"
The two women were about to come to blows.
They all turned their heads and looked at Wu Zhengqing.
"Sir, please judge for yourself!"
Wu Zhengqing sat on the edge of a field nearby, supporting his face with one hand and waving the other hand, signaling them to separate.
Helplessly, he said, "Calm down, or else I'll deduct points."
At this moment, Xie Ling's subordinates came to summon him.
Wu Zhengqing turned around and ran away as if he was relieved.
The families she manages now are all outsiders, and they quarrel with each other all the time, either because their clothes are hung on my clothesline, or because their dog stepped on the flowers in my yard... and other trivial matters.
As soon as Wu Zhengqing ran into the yard, he couldn't wait to shout:
"A Ling, are you looking for me?"
Xie Ling looked out the window. Wu Zhengqing was wearing a long dress that looked like a rosy cloud, with her long hair tied into a high ponytail. She was as warm as a little sun, and she jumped into the study room.
The girl's eyes were dark and bright. She rushed over and hugged Xie Ling tightly. "Oh, I missed you so much. I feel like you have lost weight after not seeing you for a long time. What do you want from me?"
"I miss you as well."
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Xie Ling went straight to the point, "Is Qianniang's scientific name Song Qian?"
Wu Zhengqing nodded, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Xie Ling's eyes widened as she pointed at the marriage application document on the table.
"See for yourself."
Wu Zhengqing screamed.
"Ahhh! Qianniang and Ji Ke are getting married? It's really worth it that Wanhua and I spent so much time trying to match them up! It's a pity that Wanhua is not here, otherwise she would be so happy."
Xie Ling was almost dizzy from being dazzled by Wu Zhengqing. "Wait a minute - Qingqing, stop dazed. Let's go ask Qianniang. Why didn't you tell us about such a big thing?"
Wu Zhengqing was rubbing his hands together, his eyes full of eagerness to try, and he obviously had the same idea.
After dealing with the remaining paperwork, Xie Ling and Wu Zhengqing went straight to Qianniang's house.
Qianniang's house was also in Qingshi Lane, not far from the exiled families.
As soon as I opened the door, I met Ji Ke face to face.
Ji Ke was confused. The tall man scratched his head. "Xie Zhubo, Wu Xiaomei? Why are you here to see Qianniang?"
Wu Zhengqing crossed his arms and snorted, "Shouldn't we ask you first? You didn't even tell us you were going to get married. Do you really consider us your friends?"
Ji Ke's face instantly turned red, and a strange blush appeared on his bronze skin. He spoke incoherently, "Isn't this, isn't this what I was going to notify?"
As he spoke, he pointed to the small bamboo basket he was carrying and said, "Look, these are all invitations."
Wu Zhengqing flipped through the pages and finally let him go. "I thought you guys weren't going to tell me. I'm really mad at you."
"How can it be."
Qianniang heard the voice and came over. The expression on her face was exactly the same as Ji Ke's, very red, but her skin was white, so the redness was more obvious.
The woman had her long hair tied up with a light blue scarf, with a few strands of hair hanging around her slender neck. She was wearing a long skirt of the same color.
Only when she stood next to Ji Ke could she reach his breasts, petite and feminine.
Qianniang was very embarrassed. "I wanted to tell you a long time ago, but I didn't know how to say it. I... I always rejected Ji Ke before. I'm so embarrassed."
Wu Zhengqing said with a smile: "What's there to be embarrassed about? Isn't it good for lovers to finally get married?"
Qianniang pushed Ji Ke and said, "Go and deliver the invitations quickly."
Then he welcomed Xie Ling and Wu Zhengqing in.
Qianniang’s courtyard is not big, but it is kept clean and spotless.
The cobblestone path connects to the corridor. Under the tree on the east side of the yard, Qianniang's son Mingchen is wrapping wedding candies.
Seeing Xie Ling and Wu Zhengqing, the child greeted them obediently.
Wu Zhengqing's eyes were full of teasing, "Little Mingchen, don't you hate Ji Ke the most, huh?"
Mingchen blushed and waved his hands quickly, "I didn't understand Uncle Ji before. He was very good to me. I want to be like him in the future."
Xie Ling understood.
This kid Ji Ke not only conquered Qianniang, but also conquered Mingchen as well.
Look at the admiration and adoration in his eyes, it's exactly like the admiration he would have for a father.
Qianniang came over with a teacup in her hand and said, "Sit down."
The three of them sat around the stone table.
Qianniang bit her lip, "I, ah. Originally, I didn't want to delay Ji Ke. He is a capable officer beside General Gu Wei, with a promising future, and he has never been married. And I... am a fallen woman, and..."
Qianniang whispered, "He also brought my Mingchen with him. I originally thought he was just playing around with me and teasing me, so I always gave him the cold shoulder.
I didn’t expect that he was actually a sincere person. Last time I went to the mountains to collect herbs for making spices, I almost fell off a cliff. It was Ji Ke who risked his life to save me, so I changed my mind…”
Wu Zhengqing raised his eyebrows, "What you said is not right. What do you mean by withered flowers and fallen willows? You are young and beautiful, only twenty years old, you can make incense and do business, you are diligent and cook delicious food. If there is no Ji Ke, there are still Li Ke and Zhao Ke, they all want to marry you!"
Qianniang blushed at the compliment, "Anyway, I just want to live a good life with him now. Besides, we don't plan to have any children, just Mingchen."
Xie Ling nodded, "Of course, Ji Ke is trustworthy, and Gu Wei also speaks highly of him. By the way, when will the ceremony be held?"
Qianniang gestured with her hand, "Three days later."
She felt a little embarrassed. "After I agreed to his proposal, he was so happy that he was like crazy. He insisted on getting married immediately. It happened that three days later was an auspicious day, so he set the date. He was really something. I wouldn't run away..."
Looking at the happiness on Qianniang's face, the two of them were also happy for her.
Qianniang is a miserable person. She trusted the wrong people in her previous life, but fortunately she finally finds happiness now.
Ji Ke almost flaunted his love in a high-profile manner. On the second day, everyone in Qingshi Lane knew that he and Qianniang were going to get married.
After returning, Xie Ling told Gu Wei about this matter.
Gu Wei nodded, "Ji Ke is a capable general under my command. Thank you for preparing such a generous gift."
Three days later.
The two officially got married.
This day was an auspicious day, with a warm spring breeze and bright sunshine. In addition to Qingshi Lane, many other families were also holding weddings.
The whole Sinan was filled with joy and the sound of firecrackers was heard everywhere.
The wedding was not a grand one, and only invited people from those who were exiled together, Qianniang's friends, and Ji Ke's colleagues, with less than twenty tables of people.
This was the first happy event of the spring. The bluestone alley was filled with long tables and laughter.
The dishes for the banquet were not prepared by themselves, but directly contracted to the largest restaurant in Sinan.
Right now, everyone is waiting for the meal to begin.
The men played drinking games, the children played with firecrackers, and the women also gathered together to drink wine and tea.
Jiang Yunzi came to Xie Ling's side with a wine pot in his hand, "Why don't you come with me to Mingyue Island? I can concentrate on studying medicine there. There are many medical books and many masters like me."
Xie Ling shook her head. "Master, go back and do your work. I'm in Sinan anyway and I won't run away. Come back to me when you're done."
Jiang Yunzi sighed.
"Okay, Master is still a little reluctant to give up Sinan's wine."
Xie Ling knew that Jiang Yunzi couldn't bear to leave her.
He sighed and said soothingly, "Don't worry, Master. I will ask my mother to brew you a dozen jars of wine so that you can drink as much as you want when you return to Mingyue Island."
The voice just fell.
Xie Ling felt someone patting her shoulder.
Look back.
An Xuetao's face was pale, her lips were trembling, and tears as big as beans hung in her eyes.
"A Ling, go see your father!"
