Chapter 574: The Husband Picker
He doesn't dislike Nuan Yulao, but...it's just that he is still waiting to embrace his wife and trying hard to get her to give him a daughter and a son.
This can't wait until it's too late.
"Are you asking me to marry Nuan Yu?" Xia Zihan looked at him with a smile.
Ma Bao's face turned red, then he knelt on his knees and said stumblingly, "Yes...yes, I like...nuanyu, and please ask the princess to make it happen."
Nuanyu blushed with embarrassment, secretly hating this fool for actually proposing to marry in front of so many people. How will she get out of the house from now on?
He is thick-skinned, but she is thick-skinned.
Xia Zihan was very happy, as if she had been waiting for this day for a long time. She said, "The fourteenth of this month is a good day. It just so happens that the prince doesn't need to be on duty, so I asked him to preside over this wedding for you. It's good for you too." Marry a daughter-in-law and take her back to celebrate the Lantern Festival.”
"Princess..." Seeing that her master was teasing her, Nuan Yu stomped her feet in shame.
"Ah..." Ma Bao still looked stupid. He couldn't believe it was so easy. The princess agreed. He stuttered and asked, "There are still... ten days left. Can you make it... can you make it in time? ”
"Are you too early?"
"No, it's not too early, my servant. I'm eager to marry Nuanyu home tonight, but... I'm worried... that the princess will be too busy." Ma Bao turned his tongue and changed his words.
In fact, what he wanted to say was that girls would prepare a lot of embroidery when they get married. He was worried that Nuanyu would not have enough time to prepare it. When the time came, he would stay up late and damage his eyes, which would make him feel distressed.
But he didn't know that after Nuanyu got the approval from Xia Zihan, she started to prepare the embroidery for her dowry. It has been several years now, and those embroideries have been prepared for a long time.
As for her dowry, Xia Zihan had prepared it early.
Not only hers, but also the dowries of the six maids around Xia Zihan, she had prepared them all in the past year.
Xia Zihan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely let you marry Nuanyu back in a glorious way."
Then he said, "After you get married, I will choose a small courtyard in the house for you to live. I will let you rest for a month over Nuanyu. After one month, you will come and be my wife in charge."
"Yes, Princess."
Nuan Yu kowtowed excitedly to express her gratitude.
When she heard about the marriage, she thought she would live outside like Yue Jin and not be able to serve the princess for the time being. Unexpectedly, the princess only gave her a month to get married.
That's good.
After serving the princess for more than ten years, she really didn't want to be separated from the princess.
From now on, even if they get married, she will also be the princess's stewardess and her personal nanny. Maybe, when they get pregnant together, she can also be the mistress' nanny.
Nuanyu thought happily.
The marriage between the two of them was just decided, and when they saw it, they were a little anxious.
This Ma Bao is about to get a wife, but what about him... Damn it, this Ma Bao actually made the move before him, so if he... proposes marriage now, will the princess agree?
With two maids gone all of a sudden, will the princess...will she agree?
Shengji glanced furtively at Vanilla, who was concentrating on sprinkling spices on the barbecue, not paying any attention to Shengji's gaze.
However, this glance did not escape Xia Zihan's fiery eyes.
She glanced at the maids around her. Chu Lin was still younger and could still stay for two years, but Nuanyu, Vanilla, and Silk Grass were all in their twenties. Chu Cang and Chu Fei were not young either. She has long since reached the age of letting her go. Just because her marriage has been delayed in the past few years, their marriage has also been delayed.
If she hadn't wanted to keep them by her side to be the housekeeper, she could have found someone to match them while she was in the Chu family.
Fortunately, it didn't take too long.
Without waiting for Shengdi to ask for marriage, Xia Zihan said, "Since it's a wedding, let's make it more lively. Silk Grass, Vanilla, you and Nuanyu can also get the wedding done."
< br>
Hearing this, Shengdi's face became anxious. No longer caring about the large number of people present, he ran to Xia Zihan, knelt down and said, "Slave... I am willing to marry the vanilla girl."
The movement of Vanilla's hand paused, and then, under everyone's joking eyes, her red cheeks were deeply buried in the cloak, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and she gave Shengji a fierce look.
Vanilla looked at Xia Zihan and said shyly, "I don't want to get married yet. I want to stay with the princess and serve the princess."
Shengdi became anxious when he heard this, "Xianghua, you... you can do the same as Nuanyu if you marry me, rest at home for a month, and then continue to serve the princess. I will not let you go to the princess' side." I'm on duty, this... is only for one month, or you can take half a month off, and just... just agree to the marriage, okay?"
His eyes were helpless, like a puppy abandoned by Vanilla, staring at Vanilla pitifully and aggrievedly.
Vanilla's cheeks turned redder when he stared at her, and she shrank her neck, not knowing what to do.
She looked at Xia Zihan, then at Shengdi, who had an angry look on his face. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "I will follow the princess's arrangements."
It's considered that I agreed to the marriage.
The reason why she didn't want to marry Nuanyu was because she was worried that they would all leave at once and no longer be with the princess. Only Chu Cong and Chu Fei would be left, and they would not be able to serve the princess.
Chu Lin was in another courtyard again.
When Xia Zihan saw that Xiang Xiang and Nuan Yu had already made reservations, he found an opportunity to ask Si Cao, "If you have anyone you like, tell me if you do, and I will find someone to propose marriage."
"No...no." Silk Cao said shyly, her face flushed.
"Princess, the three of us have left at once. With you...otherwise, my marriage should be later, in the twelfth lunar month. The princess will book out the slave before the twelfth lunar month. Anyway, it won't take more than a few months." , the slave can also take advantage of this year to bring out a few capable maids to serve the princess. "
"You are already twenty-one." Xia Zihan said guiltily, "I can no longer delay your marriage. Let's do this. After I go back, I will ask the prince to write to the young men in the house who are of marriageable age and have not yet been engaged. Come up with a list, and when the time comes, it’s up to you to choose.”
Then, he thought of Chu Cong and Chu Fei, "Not only you, but also Chu Cong and the others, we have to find better men to marry."
"However, I have said before that after you get married, you have to come back and be my wife in charge. My wife said a year ago that after the New Year, the middle-aged households in the mansion will be handed over to me. After I took over the management of the government, it was time to hire people.”
Silk Cao's face was full of excitement and excitement, and she quickly said, "I have sworn a long time ago that I will serve the princess all my life and do things for the county master. As long as the princess dare not leave my slave, I will follow the princess to the death."
