From Zhuque Gate to Princess Qinghe's Mansion, it's actually only a little distance away, and it won't take more than ten minutes to walk to death.

But today this carriage seems to be driving extremely slowly!

There was a lot of people outside the carriage, and there was an endless stream of hawkers and shouts, but inside the carriage it was like a world with an enchantment, as if there was no sound at all, and the air felt like it was about to freeze into ice.

Xiao Jingyang was sitting in the main seat and really didn't know how to speak.

The same is true for Shen Hanyue. Her delicate hands gently clenched her fists, sometimes tightening them and sometimes loosening them.

Both of them were extremely nervous at the moment.

"that..."

After all, Xiao Jingyang couldn't help but speak first.

"Huh?" Shen Hanyue snorted softly.

"At the earliest tomorrow, and at the latest the day after tomorrow, the palace attendant will send someone to our respective homes to measure the birth dates of you and me." What Xiao Jingyang said was exactly the question of name in the ancient engagement process. .

Naturally, engagement in ancient times could not be settled simply by saying a word. There was a corresponding process.

They are divided into nacai, asking for names, naji, nazheng, asking for an appointment, and personally welcoming.

During this period, there will also be three letters interspersed, namely the letter of appointment, the letter of gift, and the letter of welcome, which are used at different stages of the engagement.

The stage of acceptance has passed, and as for the matchmaker, it is naturally His Majesty the Emperor.

After saying this, the two fell silent again.

Mainly from the realization that it’s not even an hour now, so how can we have a common topic?

The groom outside seemed to know the dilemma inside, and drove the carriage to the gate of Princess Qinghe's mansion in less than two minutes.

After the carriage stopped, Xiao Jingyang got off the car first, stood at the exit, stretched out his hand and waited for Shen Hanyue.

Shen Hanyue poked her head out of the door curtain, saw Xiao Jingyang's movements, and understood what she was thinking.

He raised his hand slightly, supported Xiao Jingyang, and jumped down in small steps.

Xiao Jingyang quickly stretched out his other hand to help Shen Hanyue. After Shen Hanyue stood firm, he said:

"Han Yue, after the birthdays and horoscopes are combined, I will come to your house to find you again."

"Yes!" Shen Hanyue's cheeks were slightly red and she nodded shyly.

The maid who had been waiting at the door quickly walked out and came to Shen Hanyue's side.

"Slow down on the road." When Shen Hanyue saw the maid approaching, she looked at Xiao Jingyang's face and said softly.

"I know." Xiao Jingyang smiled slightly and nodded in response.

Shen Hanyue immediately walked into Princess Qinghe's mansion, followed by the maid.

But as she walked, she stopped without hesitation and looked back.

Xiao Jingyang did not leave, just stood there and looked at her back.

Shen Hanyue had joy in her eyes and a smile on her face. After the two looked at each other, the girl walked in.

Xiao Jingyang couldn't help but feel happy, but he still had things to do in the next few days.

After thinking about it, he got on the carriage and returned to the palace.

Prince Ji's Mansion

"How is it? Are you sending the girl back?"

Princess Ji saw Xiao Jingyang beaming with joy when he walked in. He was so happy that he almost flew to the sky, so she joked with a smile.

"Yeah!" Xiao Jingyang did not deny it, raised his eyebrows slightly, said with a smile, came to the chair next to his mother and sat down.

"Looking at the way you look today, you almost have eyes for other girls. I was embarrassed to talk about you when I was in the palace." Although Princess Ji's words were reproachful, her eyes were full of smiles. It was obvious that,

This is a joke on my own son.

Xiao Jingyang also felt a little embarrassed. After all, it was the first time he met someone and he looked at them like this.

Even if two people are actually looking at each other, it's really not good.

If there were other people present besides the two elders, this would have been true.

"Okay, okay, mom is not talking about you, just remember it from now on." Princess Ji smiled and shook her head.

"After the interview is over, you still have to prepare for Najib. Do you need my mother to help you with this matter? Should you prepare it yourself?"

Xiao Jingyang smiled and said: "Since it is Najib, I should naturally prepare it myself."

"I'm going to ask people in the next few days if there are any new and clever things."

"Yes! You can prepare it yourself." Princess Ji nodded.

Najib means giving some small gifts to express the intention to get married. This step usually involves the man checking his birth date before deciding whether to proceed.

In fact, to put it simply, it is just sending love tokens to each other.

If your family is relatively poor, you can even exchange birth date booklets.

It mainly reflects the feelings between two people.

Xiao Jingyang really couldn't think of what would be a better gift for a moment.

Of course gold and silver jewelry is not possible, it can only be some small jewelry, or jade pendants and the like.

[Why don’t you go find a hosta! 】

Xiao Jingyang couldn't help but come up with this idea, and his mind flashed to the light green hairpin in the girl's hair when he saw it today.

Yes, it’s good to give a hairpin.

You can use it as a decorative tool in your spare time, or even as a weapon if you encounter danger.

It's quite painful when pricked by that thing.

Just do it, Xiao Jingyang bowed to his parents and ran outside.

As soon as he went out, he went to West Street first, and then went to Su Zhai after he was done.

Langya Pavilion is located in the pigeon house of Jinling City, just on West Street.

Go to him and ask first, then go to Mei Changsu and ask him to help search the world.

Jinling pigeon house

At a branch intersection of West Street Avenue, you turn and walk into an alley. A courtyard inside is the pigeon house of Langya Pavilion.

On the surface, this is a restaurant selling soup cakes. It must be said that it is paired with mutton soup, and it tastes a bit delicious.

"Yo!" Xiao Jingyang walked into the restaurant and greeted the waiter.

"Oh? Master! Are you here again today?" The waiter rolled his eyes, put the rag on his shoulder, and hurriedly came to Xiao Jingyang's side.

"Ah! That's right! According to the old rules, all the good stuff is given to me." Xiao Jingyang acted like a man when he came in. He walked in slowly and raised his head slightly and said.

"Yes! Then go to the private room and wait?" The waiter made a greeting gesture and then said.

"Yeah!" Xiao Jingyang nodded and followed him to the third floor.

Xiao Jingyang and the waiter came to a private room together, opened the door and walked in.

Xiao Jingyang smiled and said: "This business is good! There are so many people every day."

"Your Majesty, please stop talking." The waiter looked the same as before and said with a wry smile:

"If possible, I would also like to stay in Langya Mountain. It is better than smelling the mutton soup here every day."

The waiter's name is Li Nan and he is the manager of Jinling Pigeon House.

The two sat down together and the waiter asked:

"Your Majesty, why are you here today?"

"Brother Li, I want to ask you where you can find hairpins made of very hard jade." Xiao Jingyang stated his request.

"Ah?" Li Nan was stunned after hearing this, and then asked:

"Isn't jade generally very hard? Aren't there jade hairpins like this sold everywhere on Dongda Street?"

"What I want is the kind of hairpin that is hard enough to be used as a weapon and has a beautiful shape. It also needs to be for girls."

"Oh?" Li Nan showed a gossipy smile after hearing this.

"Are you planning to give this to your Crown Princess?"

"Yeah!" This kind of basic information, Langya Pavilion's pigeon house had already received the tip, so Xiao Jingyang didn't bother to explain it.

"Okay! Leave this matter to me, Brother Li." Li Nan smiled and said:

"Not only did I get the news to you, I also found a way to get this thing for you."

Xiao Jingyang said: "When the time comes, you can go to Jiangzuo League for help. I will go and tell them soon."
