The next day, June 23rd.
The wedding date was set for the 25th of June, and there were only two days left.
The Li family attached great importance to Li Zexuan's marriage. Although Han Yuxi was not from a prestigious family, she was the newly adopted daughter of Qin Qiong and his wife. Compared to the old aristocratic families, the Qin family and the Cheng family were upstart groups that belonged to the imperial court. This was a force that could not be ignored. Therefore, it was reasonable to say that Han Yuxi's identity had indeed increased a lot of attention for this marriage.
Of course, the most important thing was that Li Zexuan liked Han Yuxi very much. Since their son liked her, what else did Li Jingmo and Mrs. Li have to say? As the saying goes, love the house, love the crow. They also cared about this marriage very much.
"It must be a big event. It must be lively. The extravagance must not be lacking. Otherwise, people will laugh at us."
This was what Li Jingmo said a month ago. In fact, he did do so.
These days, Old Man Li and Madam Li's faces were glowing with health and vigor, as if they had been rejuvenated. The whole mansion was also filled with a jubilant atmosphere. The red cloth and red curtains had been hung up in advance. Madam Li had organized the servants to clean the mansion several times. Every place had been cleaned several times. Basically, there was no blind spot. Not to say that the mansion was spotless, but if you looked at it with the naked eye, you wouldn't see a speck of dust in any room.
This caused Li Zexuan to have to take off his shoes every time he returned to his room. Otherwise, the wooden floor in the house would definitely have to be cleaned again. Fortunately, it was summer now. Otherwise, there would be no floor heating. Wouldn't he freeze to death with bare feet ~?
Half a month ago, the Li family had already sent the betrothal gifts to the Han family. Just the copper coins alone were used to pull thirty ox-carts, which amounted to a total of thirty thousand strings of strings of cash. Fifty jars of the Drunken Immortal, which was popular in Chang 'an, were pulled. When Cheng Yaojin found out about this, he was extremely envious. He secretly hated himself for not having a daughter (Cheng Yaojin did not have a daughter in the official history, but of course, the TV dramas could not be trusted). He sent three of the new horse carriages, "Don't Touch Me", a thousand mu of fertile land, and various other gifts.
Such a huge betrothal gift shocked the "onlookers". The entire Chang 'an City was in an uproar. The people of the Han Family Manor and the neighboring villages were still talking about it after such a long time. They were envious of Han Tianhu for finding such a son-in-law.
Many people who had daughters were also wondering if they should bring their daughters to Li Zexuan to have a look. If Li Zexuan took a fancy to them, then wouldn't their family be rich?
Li Zexuan did not know what others were thinking. Anyway, when he thought about the tedious wedding process in the next few days, he could not help but have a headache.
He actually felt that the wedding should be simple, but he had to consider for Han Yuxi. If the wedding was simple, the one who would be embarrassed would not be him, but Han Yuxi. Although Han Yuxi was not the kind of person who despised the poor and loved the rich, this was a once-in-a-lifetime event for a woman. Who would not want to be grand and happy ~?
Therefore, when his parents said that they wanted to hold a grand wedding, Li Zexuan also followed suit and said that they wanted to hold a grand wedding. He was not afraid of spending money. In order to give face to Han Yuxi, this new daughter-in-law, it was worth spending any amount of money. The current Li family did not lack money at all.
Yesterday afternoon, the Han family had sent someone to deliver a message saying that they would be sending people over to make the beds today. Thus, Lady Li had woken up early in the morning to make preparations. Naturally, the entire residence was cleaned up once again. None of the servants complained. Instead, each and every one of them was overjoyed and worked hard without complaint because they would be rewarded!
Making the bed, also known as making the house or making the bed, was usually done a few days before the wedding by a lucky person who would move the new bed to the appropriate position. Then, the lucky woman would be responsible for making the bed. She would spread the mattress, bed sheets, and dragon and phoenix quilt on the bed and sprinkle all kinds of wedding fruits, such as red dates, longans, dried lychees, and red mung beans. After making the bed, no one was allowed to enter the new room or touch the new bed until the newlyweds entered the room on the night of the wedding.
Ever since the wedding date was confirmed, Madam Li had been nagging Li Zexuan about the wedding process. Otherwise, how would Li Zexuan know about these complicated formalities?
After breakfast, Li Zexuan leaned back on the recliner leisurely and leisurely looked at the freshly printed Datang Daily, allowing his parents to busy themselves in the courtyard and command him.
It was not that he did not want to help, but that he would only make things worse. Regarding this point, Father Li and Madam Li had a deep consensus. Li Zexuan was also fortunate to be at ease.
Tsk tsk, it's great not to have to go to work!
Li Zexuan thought contentedly.
"Hmph! Stinky brother is slacking off again! "
Suddenly, Lan 'er's legs sank, and he saw Lan' er sitting horizontally on Li Zexuan's thighs. Her two hands reached over to pinch Li Zexuan's face. Perhaps it was because Li Zexuan's face was too handsome or something else, but Lan 'er liked to pinch Li Zexuan's face the most, other than often pulling Li Zexuan's arm.
Li Zexuan hurriedly slapped the little girl's hands away and said unhappily, "Get off! What are you doing! "
He really had a headache when it came to Lan 'er. This girl was almost seven years old. In this era where girls were generally married at the age of 11 or 12, this age was not considered young. Although the Tang Dynasty was liberal, it was rare for siblings to be so intimate. Li Zexuan, who came from the modern era, did not think much of it, but his parents had scolded him and the little girl many times over this matter.
"No! No! Brother, are you reading the newspaper again? Why don't you go and chat with Sister Yuxi ~? "
Lan 'er shook her head and used her two white and tender little arms to resist Li Zexuan's pull. She was unwilling to get off.
Li Zexuan was afraid that he would hurt her, so he was too lazy to care. In any case, his parents were so busy right now. He glared at the little girl and said, "Don't worry.
"You still have the nerve to say that ~? You're hogging the telegraph machine every day. How can I use it ~? "
The little girl was getting more and more thick-skinned. It was all because of her that Li Zexuan's chat time with Han Yuxi sharply decreased. Of course, when it came to this "little tyrant" at home, Li Zexuan could only tolerate it ~!
"Hehe ~! How can there be! Lan 'er won't hog it in the future. Brother can use it now ~! "
Lan 'er giggled embarrassedly.
"Why ~?"
Li Zexuan looked at the little girl suspiciously and asked.
"Hmm ~, brother, your telegraph machine is not good ~. It can only transmit words, and it can't hear Sister Yuxi's voice. It's really too bad. Lan 'er feels that it's meaningless! Also, I heard from mother that from the day after tomorrow, Sister Yuxi will be living in our house forever. When that time comes, I can play with Sister Yuxi every day. Why do I still need to use this broken telegraph machine ~? It's too tiring! "
You can't do this ~! It's too bad! Broken telegraph machine …
Li Zexuan's face darkened. This communication tool that transcended eras was actually despised by the little girl! Lan 'er had developed a sense of superiority from playing with the telegraph machine. There was no one else who had higher standards than her now!
