Matchmaker Chu smiled and said, “Jinghong, quickly give the betrothal letter to Qingzhi. What are you waiting for?”

Tang Jinghong immediately became nervous. He took out the betrothal letter from his pocket in a hurry and handed it to Chu Qingzhi. “Qingzhi, this is the betrothal letter.”

The betrothal letter was red in color. The place where it was written was dyed a faint golden color.

The betrothal letter was written vertically. The first two words were “betrothal letter”, followed by the names of the men and women, followed by the auspicious words, and finally the date.

Chu Qingzhi’s gaze shifted from the betrothal letter to Tang Jinghong. “Jinghong, did you write this betrothal letter?”

The calligraphy on it was very elegant and matched General Tang Jinghong’s aura.

Tang Jinghong nodded and said in a gentle voice, “I wrote it. I’ve already written my name. Now, it’s your time to write your name.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled. “Xuyuan, give me a brush.”

“Alright,” Chu Xuyuan replied crisply. Then, he turned around and ran back to his room. Soon, he brought over a brush. “Fifth Sister, here.”

Chu Qingzhi took a brush and wrote the words “Chu Qingzhi” next to Tang Jinghong’s name.

Tang Jinghong looked at Chu Qingzhi gently and promised, “Qingzhi, you’re and will be the only wife I, Tang Jinghong, will have in this life and many lives to come.”

That’s right. She had forgotten that in this era, men could have multiple wives. With Tang Jinghong’s status, he could marry at least a dozen. However, this guy knew his place well and made a promise to only marry her.

Chu Qingzhi became serious. “If you break your promise, 1 will definitely leave you.”

Tang Jinghong said solemnly, “I won’t break it, no matter what.”

He had seen many tragic scenes in the battle and experienced many griefs.

Now, he only wanted to live the rest of his life with someone he liked. That was enough.

Chu Qingzhi smiled. “Good.”

Matchmaker Chu looked at the sweet couple and couldn’t help but smile. “The betrothal letter is signed. Come, it’s time to check out the gifts.”

Tang Jinghong turned around. “The last box is filled with wedding candies for everyone. After the ceremony, you can eat it to your heart’s content.”

He wanted to share his joy with everyone and announce to them that he had a fiancee!

“Wow, wow, wow, there’s wedding candy!”

“Jinghong, you’re really awesome!”

“Jinghong is really thoughtful!”

Tang Jinghong handed the gift list to the elder. “Elder, sorry to trouble you.”

The elder was very happy. Tang Jinghong was a good child just like Chu Qingzhi. It was best for the two of them to be together. “No trouble at all.”

He stood up and walked towards the gift boxes. Then, he waved at everyone. “Chu Tai, come and take a look.”

Everyone gathered around and craned their necks to see what was inside.

Fang Zerong opened the first box…

The elder looked at the list of gifts and couldn’t help but wonder if Jinghong had received a windfall. He said, “Two bolts of red silk and eight bolts of fabric…”

In short, there were golden hairpins, golden rings, golden earrings, ceremonial candles, ceremonial incense, ceremonial cannons, ceremonial pancakes, flowerpots, pomegranate flowers, and betrothal money of one thousand taels of silver…

There were a total of 30 to 40 things. It could be seen that Tang Jinghong took Chu Jingzhi very seriously.

“A thousand taels of silver?”

“Did I hear it right?”

“Betrothal money of one thousand taels of silver? Oh my god!”

The villagers were shocked. 1,000 taels of silver was an amount that they would never be able to earn in this lifetime. Everyone was envious. Jinghong was hiding his wealth too well. No one knew he had so much money.

When Mr. Tang saw these things, his eyes widened. It was impossible to buy these things without a few hundred taels of silver. There was also a thousand taels of silver as the betrothal money. How could Jinghong be so rich? He suddenly regretted letting him leave the house.

When the Chu family saw this scene, they revealed looks of disbelief.

Chu Qingzhi didn’t expect the marriage process in ancient times to be so complicated, but it was filled with a sense of ceremony. It made the marriage feel real and tangible.

Tang Jinghong silently observed Chu Qingzhi’s reaction. “Qingzhi, do you want anything else?”

Chu Qingzhi shook her head. “It’s enough. It’s already too much.”

Grandpa Chu was extremely satisfied with Tang Jinghong. “Jinghong, you’re so considerate. We’ll be relieved to hand Qingzhi over to you in the future.”

Tang Jinghong said seriously, “Grandpa Chu, I won’t let you down.”

Grandpa Chu was all smiles. “Good, good, good. I’m even more relieved to hear that.”

The village elder folded the gift list and handed it to Grandpa Chu. “Keep this well. You can’t lose it.”

Grandpa Chu took it with both hands. “I’ll definitely keep it well.”

Matchmaker Chu shook her red handkerchief. “Now that the ceremony is over, let’s eat the wedding candy.”

“Yay, candies.” The children were the happiest.

Tang Jinghong grabbed a handful of candies from the box and placed it in Chu Qingzhi’s hand. “Try it.”

Chu Qingzhi made a walking out hand gesture to him.

Tang Jinghong understood the meaning of the hand gesture. He held Chu Qingzhi’s hand and sneaked out to the backyard.

The location of the stable was perfect for conversation. Not only would they not be seen, but their conversation would also not be heard.

Chu Qingzhi looked around and kissed Tang Jinghong’s cheek.

Tang Jinghong felt something cold and soft touch his face. Then, he smelled the fragrance that belonged to Chu Qingzhi. By the time he reacted, Chu Qingzhi had already retreated.

He felt his face heating up. Then, from the place where Qingzhi had kissed him, it spread to his entire body.

He didn’t dare to kiss Chu Qingzhi, but the exuberant love made him uncontrollably hug Chu Qingzhi. “Qingzhi, I’m so happy.”

Chu Qingzhi’s eyes curved. “Me too.”

“Jinghong, open your mouth.”

“Why?”

“I’ll feed you candy.”

Fu Bao rubbed against Hou Fu. Why don’t we get together too?

Hou Fu looked away in embarrassment.

At noon, Chu Qingzhi changed her clothes. The blueprints for the workshop had been drawn for a few days. It was time to build it.

She planned to formalize the workshop and eventually make it into a factory.

Tang Jinghong, on the other hand, went to buy land and planned to build a house as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if Qingzhi married him now, they wouldn’t have a place to live.

It was not that he did not have a house. He still had a grand general’s mansion in the capital. However, Qingzhi would definitely be unhappy to stay in the capital. He did not like the capital either.

After eating the wedding candy, everyone’s excitement slowly subsided and they began to get busy.

Then, the entire Chu Village was in full swing..
