I became the cannon fodder who died early, and I angrily married the villain

Because Qin Sheng's wedding date is approaching, everyone can't help but talk about this happy event.

At the request of the Queen Mother, the marriage of the Qin and Lu families must be completed within two months. Originally, their wedding date was scheduled for the 56th day after the imperial decree was issued. This day is still a few days away from two months, and it is also close to the Chinese New Year. Almost as soon as they got married, they entered the New Year.

It has been a month since the Queen Mother's imperial decree of marriage came down, and their Qin family has not yet made an engagement to the Lu family. It's not because they don't value it. On the contrary, it is precisely because they value it that they are slow. Slow work produces fine work.

After the Queen Mother's imperial decree of marriage was issued, the Zhao family returned the betrothal gifts they had previously given. They can't use this betrothal gift to directly betroth the Lu family, right? This is too unrefined.

Therefore, they did not use the betrothal gifts they had prepared for the Zhao family before. Many of the items in it were replaced by things of equal value. However, after a busy month, the betrothal gifts have been prepared. They can go to the Lu family to betroth in the next few days.

"You can pick some of the items you brought back to add to the betrothal gifts." Mrs. Qin said to Qin Silang.

Qin Silang nodded. Among the goods he brought back, some of the furs and gems were of the best quality. If used as betrothal gifts, it would be the most decent.

"Mother, eldest brother, third brother and sister-in-law, A Sheng, I can't wait to attend the wedding, and I can't wait to see the birth of my nephew or niece. I decided to take people away tomorrow morning." Qin Silang wiped his face and said so.

He and the troops he brought back rested for a day and a night, which was enough.

As soon as Qin Silang said this, the whole hall suddenly became extremely quiet.

"Fourth brother, you are injured." Qin Sheng always thought about this.

Qin Silang laughed, "It's really okay. Didn't you hire a doctor for me? Just ask him to apply some medicine to me later."

Mrs. Qin was very sad, "Silang, can't you wait until the engagement is over before leaving? Meet Xiaoliu's wife, and then your father and second and third brothers will ask about it, and you will have something to say."

"No, there is a long time to come, and we will meet again as a family." Qin Silang smiled, "Dad asked me to come back this time because he wanted me to see my home and see if you are okay, mother. Now that I see that everyone and everything at home is fine, Dad is relieved, and we can be relieved too."

The war is tense. This year, there has been heavy snow outside the Great Wall for two months. The Xianbei, Wuhuan, Shanxu and other tribes went south to plunder, and they were extremely fierce. He had to rush back.

The three brothers Qin Heng, Qin Sanlang and Qin Sheng did not speak, but they all looked solemn. Without Silang's words, they could already imagine the danger.

This winter, there was heavy snow and it was particularly cold. It was like this in Chang'an City, and it would be even colder and worse in the North.

They really wanted to go back to the North to help, but they couldn't leave.

"Big brother, how about I go with the fourth brother tomorrow?" Qin Sanlang said.

Nie Yunniang's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, but she put her hand on her bulging belly and held back the words on her lips.

Qin Heng shook his head and rejected his request. The third brother's wife was about to give birth, and her mental state was not very good. It would be better for her if Sanlang was there.

Qin Sanlang knew that his big brother was no less anxious than him, but he had to stay and preside over Xiaoliu's wedding in Chang'an City. First, this was a marriage granted by the Queen Mother, and it couldn't be neglected. If they were not there and only their mother presided over the wedding, it would not give the Queen Mother face. Second, their father Qin Yue was not there, and the eldest brother was like a father. The eldest brother could replace their biological father. If even the eldest brother was not there, it would be disrespectful to the Lu family, and this wedding would definitely be laughed at.

Qin Sheng also pursed his lips.

When he thought that there were still twenty days before the wedding date...

"Brother, why don't we discuss with the Lu family and advance the wedding date?" Qin Sanlang suggested.

The Queen Mother ordered that the Qin and Lu families must get married within two months. Postponing is not an option, so it should be okay to advance it, right? After several contacts, Qin Sanlang found that the Lu family was not the kind of unreasonable family. It should be okay to talk to them nicely, right?

As long as A Sheng gets married smoothly, the eldest brother and A Sheng can go north to support. If Yun Niang also gives birth in this half month, the three brothers can set off together...

In any case, if they get married early, at least two people in their family can go north to support, which will greatly relieve his father's pressure.

Qin Heng pondered for a moment and asked Madam Qin, "Mom, what do you think?"

Madam Qin nodded and said, "We can try. But let's make it clear first, if the Lu family agrees, it means they are reasonable. We, the Qin family, cannot neglect them just because we are in a hurry. We should have all the etiquette that a wedding should have."

Qin Heng said, "That's for sure." They are not the kind of people who would take advantage of others.

Qin Sheng also nodded seriously.

"I'm sorry, A-Li." Madam Qin sighed. She was very satisfied with Lu Songli, her daughter-in-law.

Speaking of Lu Songli, Madam Qin couldn't help but think of the pills that her youngest son sent back a few days ago, saying that they were given by her future daughter-in-law. After she took it, her body was indeed much more comfortable in the past two days. First of all, she slept well at night and slept very deeply, unlike before when she slept very lightly and was easily awakened. Also, her breathing was much smoother, and she no longer felt chest tightness and shortness of breath.

When Qin Sheng heard this, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Qin Heng and the others were a little surprised. They didn't expect that Lu Songli would help them so much. Their future sister-in-law was really good.

Mrs. Qin was in poor health and fell ill from time to time, which always gave the Qin family a headache. They didn't expect that the pills she sent would actually work for their mother. I think she had some adventures, but I don't know if the pills can be supplied all the time?

After they finished talking, they dispersed. The main reason was that the Qin family understood that Qin Silang was exhausted after rushing back all the way, and wanted him to rest as soon as possible.

Qin Silang called Qin Sheng, "A Sheng, how about going to practice?"

"No." Qin Sheng turned his head and refused, "I don't bully the old, weak, sick and disabled."

Qin Silang:... Old, weak, sick and disabled? Who are you talking about? It turned out to be just a suggestion, now we have to practice!

"And your third brother? Is he qualified to fight with you?" Qin Sanlang came over and hugged his neck.

"Let's go!" Qin Silang raised his foot and was about to walk towards the training ground.

Qin Sheng took advantage of his third brother's inattention, quickly grabbed the wrist of his hand that was around his shoulder with his left hand, then quickly turned around, pulled with his right hand, and held his shoulder with his right palm, and before his third brother could react, he let him go and ran away.

A voice came from afar, "Fourth brother, you are still injured, take it easy."

"This stinky boy!"

Only Qin Sanlang and Qin Silang were left standing there, looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Do you want to practice more?" Qin Sanlang asked.

"No!" Qin Silang looked at him with disdain and walked away.

Qin Sanlang:... What are you so proud of? Isn't Silang also disliked by Ah Sheng? How dare you dislike him!

...

The next day, the Qin family saw Qin Silang off together.

On the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, it is appropriate to accept the marriage proposal and get married.

Early in the morning, the Qin family came to the Lu family to propose marriage. Mrs. Qin and Qin Heng brought Qin Sheng to come in person, and also brought an official matchmaker.

The Lu family knew that the Qin family had been preparing the betrothal gifts for the past month. They exchanged the betrothal gifts returned by the Zhao family with objects of the same or higher grade. The time was short and the task was heavy, so it was not easy, so there was nothing strange about it.

Therefore, the betrothal gifts of the Qin family were not outstanding on the surface, but there was something special inside.

A careful comparison would reveal that the objects were still the same, but the value of the whole betrothal gifts was 30% higher than that given to the Zhao family before. You know, Zhao Yutan was the eldest daughter of a third-rank official, and her dowry was 50,000 taels. The betrothal gifts given by the Qin family naturally could not be too different in value.

Lu Songli was now only the second daughter of a fifth-rank imperial censor. Even if the Qin family directly used the betrothal gifts returned by the Zhao family to betroth, it would be fine. But the Qin family did not.

Now that the Qin family's betrothal gifts have been sent, what is this called? This is called a low-key slap in the face.

Of all the betrothal gifts, Lv Songli's favorite were the first three furs, one snow fox fur, one muskrat fur, and one sable fur. Especially the sable fur, which was light, long and narrow, soft brown, and evenly mixed with silver-white needle hairs. This was the top-grade sable fur.

Lv Songli stroked it gently.

"Like it?" Qin Sheng asked.

Lv Songli nodded. These three furs were the top-grade furs she had ever seen.

The winter here is particularly cold, even colder than in later times, probably because of the low carbon dioxide emissions. And there are few warm-keeping measures. In the winter, down jackets, cotton jackets, cashmere coats, etc. are out of the question. If these furs sent by the Qin family are made into clothes, they must be very warm and beautiful.

Qin Sheng secretly noted it.
