Chapter 880 [Splendid Heart 19]
The servant hurried to Youyou's quiet and elegant residence and said softly, "Miss, the master and the mistress want to ask you to come over."
Hearing this, Youyou, who was quietly admiring the beautiful scenery outside the window, turned around and replied with a smile, "Okay, I got it." After that, she gently adjusted her skirt and walked towards the front hall with light steps.
Soon, Youyou arrived at the front hall. As soon as she entered the hall, she respectfully bowed to her parents who were sitting above her and said, "My daughter greets you, father and mother."
Father Qiao nodded slightly, with a serious look on his face, and said, "Lian Fang, today Daddy asked you to come here to talk to you about the matter of Yongping Marquis. Your aunt came to the door in person today to propose marriage on behalf of Yongping Marquis. Daddy wants to hear your thoughts on this. I wonder what you are planning in your mind?"
Youyou raised her head, looked at her father calmly, and said slowly, "To be honest, the Marquis had mentioned this to me before. He said at the time that if I didn't want to live in the Marquis' Mansion, he would be willing to resign his official position and travel around the world with me. And if I didn't want to take care of the housework, he agreed to let the Second Young Master's wife take care of the household affairs. Everything can be done according to my wishes."
Hearing this, Qiao's mother couldn't help but look worried, and interrupted to ask, "If that's the case, it's fine, but Lian Fang, do you really not mind not having a child to take care of you in the future? After all, carrying on the family line is very important to a family."
Youyou smiled slightly and comforted her mother, "Mother, these girls don't really care. The Marquis once said that when the time is right, he will adopt a child from the clan to us. This way, we will have descendants to carry on the family line."
"Since you have this intention, then your father will naturally not object and will accept this marriage." Father Qiao nodded slightly, with a gratified smile on his face. He looked at his graceful daughter in front of him, his heart full of emotion.
"Thank you, Daddy!" Youyou couldn't help but say with happiness in her eyes. She bowed gently, then turned and left, her steps as light as a dancing butterfly.
Not long after, Xu Lingyi came to visit in person. He was dressed in a blue shirt, and was elegant and refined in his every move. After meeting Qiao's father, the two exchanged pleasantries, and then got down to business, discussing the details of the marriage.
Xu Lingyi introduced his family situation in detail to Qiao's father and expressed his admiration for Youyou. Qiao's father listened carefully and nodded his approval from time to time. They had an in-depth discussion on everything from the wedding date, ceremony to the arrangements for life after marriage, striving to make this marriage perfect.
Time passed unnoticed, and the sun outside the window gradually set in the west, casting a golden glow. After a long conversation, Xu Lingyi and Qiao's father finally reached a consensus and officially decided on the marriage.
The wedding was scheduled for the beginning of October, when the autumn was in full swing and the golden wind was refreshing. Xu Lingyi attached great importance to this marriage and specially invited the most outstanding embroiderer in the capital to come, just to carefully make a beautiful and unique wedding dress for Youyou. Every stitch on the wedding dress was filled with his deep love and expectations for Youyou.
The betrothal gifts given to Youyou were even more jaw-dropping. The amount was even more than twice the amount given when they married Luo Yuanniang! These generous betrothal gifts caused a sensation throughout the capital, and people were talking about the Xu family's grand wedding and the lucky woman who was about to marry into a wealthy family.
However, when this news reached Luo Yuanniang's ears, she was shocked and speechless. She never thought that Xu Lingyi, who had sworn to her forever, would marry again, and the other party was his childhood sweetheart.
Thinking back to the past, Luo Yuanniang couldn't help but feel sad, and thought to herself: "Am I really just a mistake in his life? Our meeting was a mistake from the very beginning. It's true that a lover sent by heaven is not as good as a childhood sweetheart..." Tears slid down her pale cheeks, dripped onto the cold ground, and splashed up sad tears.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the wedding day arrived. In the early morning of that day, before dawn, the whole world was immersed in silence, but Youyou was unable to enjoy the tranquility. She was still half asleep when she was awakened by a burst of urgent shouting.
"Miss, wake up! Today is your wedding day with your husband, you can't be late!" The maids called softly and gently shook Youyou's shoulders. Youyou slowly opened her eyes, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and gradually regained consciousness.
"Oh, I know!" Youyou mumbled in response, but her body was still a little lazy and she was not willing to get up immediately. After all, being woken up so early would make anyone a little reluctant. But when she thought of this special day, she suddenly felt a surge of joy in her heart, and all her sleepiness instantly disappeared.
After opening her face, Youyou's already beautiful face looked even more charming. Then, she was carefully dressed up by several experienced and skillful maids. First, her silky hair was carefully combed, and then it was embellished with exquisite hair accessories to make it more beautiful. After finishing her makeup, Youyou was surrounded by people and carefully put on the gorgeous wedding dress. This wedding dress was made of high-quality silk, embroidered with exquisite patterns and auspicious patterns, shining with dazzling light.
Everything was ready, except for the final combing. At this time, the woman who was invited to be the wife of Quanfu walked up to Youyou with a smile and said softly, "Comb it all the way to the end." As the comb in her hand gently slid across Youyou's hair, it seemed to bring endless blessings and expectations. This first combing symbolized that the newlyweds' marriage would be long-lasting and happy from beginning to end.
Then, it was the crucial second and third combing. Qiao's mother gently took the comb and slowly and lovingly combed Youyou's silky hair. Every movement seemed so careful, as if what she was holding in her hand was not an ordinary comb, but an invaluable treasure.
While combing her hair, Qiao's mother whispered to Youyou softly, "My dear daughter, I sincerely hope that from now on, your life will be filled with happiness and satisfaction. If you are wronged outside, please remember to come home and tell me. No matter what happens, I will stand up for you without hesitation!"
Hearing her mother's caring words, Youyou's eyes turned red and she responded with a slightly choked voice: "Yes, mother. Don't worry, your daughter will take good care of herself. Even if I encounter difficulties, I will go home to talk to you the first time." The hearts of the mother and daughter are closely connected at this moment, and the strong family affection is like the warm sunshine in spring, sprinkling on each other's hearts.
