Chapter 184: Getting a Marriage Certificate
early morning
Originally, Song Jiang and Shen Xia were going to the county together, but Song Jin insisted on going with them.
There is no other choice but to take it with me.
The three of them arrived at the county around eleven o'clock. At this time, people in the government office were generally still working.
Shen Xia thought about getting the marriage certificate first, then having lunch, and then going to the dental clinic to check it out.
Shen Xia arrived at the county government office.
The person at the door looked at Shen Xia and said, "Hello, Miss Shen."
"Hello there!"
"I'll go call our parents." said the constable.
Shen Xia quickly stopped him and said, "No, I'm here to do some work, there's no need to disturb your parents."
The constable was wondering why Shen Xia was so reserved.
Although I was puzzled, I didn't ask any more questions.
The people in the yamen only knew that the master was in a bad mood after his mother came, but they didn't know that Miss Shen and the master had broken up.
Shen Xia took Song Jiang and Song Jin directly to the office on the left to handle business.
After the three of them went in together, they saw Zheng Jinshu working there.
Zheng Jinshu looked up and saw that it was Shen Xia. He immediately stood up and said with a smile, "Sister Shen, why is it you?"
Shen Xia smiled and replied, "Hello, Lord Zheng. I came here today to handle some matters."
She secretly sighed in her heart, in the past she was not very familiar with this world and always felt that she was somewhat remarkable, but now it seems that with her identity as a peasant girl, she may not be worth mentioning in their eyes.
It's just that my special personality makes them feel fresh for a while.
After all, they lived in a slave society and were not from the same class, so it was better to keep a certain distance.
Even if my status improves in the future, I will not look down on others, but the other party may not do the same.
They have grown up in such an environment since childhood, and their ideas and ways of dealing with people may be very different from yours.
It is said that birds of a feather flock together. If you are not of the same kind, you should have less contact with others.
Zheng Jinshu felt a little embarrassed when she heard Shen Xia's unfamiliar address. She reluctantly said, "Sister Shen, I can't comment too much on the matter between you and Zizhan. But there is no conflict between us. You can't take your anger out on me because of him."
Shen Xia smiled and responded calmly: "Master Zheng, you are too kind."
Zheng Jinshu thought that Shen Xia must not have calmed down yet, so he was not angry either, thinking that it would be fine once she calmed down.
Then he asked, "Sister Shen, what are you doing here today?"
Shen Xia looked at Song Jiang: "Brother, take out the information."
Song Jiang handed the thing to Shen Xia.
Then Shen Xia handed it to Zheng Jinshu and said, "Sir Zheng, please help us get the marriage certificate."
Zheng Jinshu heard
Marriage certificate?
He immediately picked up the information on the table and took a look. After he finished reading it, he murmured, "You are really going to get married."
Shen Xia nodded: "Yes, thank you for your help, sir."
Zheng Jinshu put down the information in his hand and glanced at Song Jiang and Song Jin.
Then he said to Shen Xia: "Sister Shen, don't you think sharing a wife is unfair to you?"
Shen Xia smiled and said, "Not really, my brothers all take good care of me."
Zheng Jinshu looked at Shen Xia. Could it be that she had just given up on this because she had broken up with Zizhan?
"Are you like this because of Zizhan?" Zheng Jinshu wondered.
After saying that, he glanced at the person behind Shen Xia.
After hearing this, Song Jiang hesitated. If the two had not had a relationship, would Xia Xia marry him?
My mind is full of random thoughts.
But soon, Shen Xia's words calmed Song Jiang's wild thoughts.
"No, I am willing to marry my brothers." Shen Xia looked at Jinshu's face seriously.
She didn't want anyone to look down on her brothers.
Seeing that Shen Xia didn't listen to him, Zheng Jinshu found an excuse and said, "Okay, but my stomach hurts a little. Sister Shen, please sit down and wait for me."
Before Shen Xia could say anything, she saw him leave in a hurry.
Of course Shen Xia knew that what he said was just an excuse.
He should have gone to find Gu Zizhan.
Shen Xia was also worried. What if Gu Zizhan went crazy and refused to issue her a marriage certificate?
Shen Xia glanced at Song Jiang and Song Jin beside him.
They both knew what was going on and felt uneasy.
Shen Xia looked at the two people's uneasy eyes and said: "It's okay, if we can't do it today, then we won't do it. The date of our wedding will remain unchanged."
The two nodded and said, "Okay, let's listen to Xia Xia."
Zheng Jinshu hurried to the door of Gu Zizhan's study and rushed in without waiting to knock.
His face was full of anxiety, and he shouted loudly: "Zi Zhan! Something big has happened."
However, Gu Zizhan did not seem to be affected too much, and he was still focused on the work at hand, not even raising his head.
Zheng Jinshu walked quickly to the desk and said with a heavy breath, "Shen Xia, come here to get the marriage certificate."
Hearing this, the brush in Gu Zizhan's hand shook violently, and a large blob of black ink suddenly appeared on the paper.
He felt a sharp pain in his heart and slowly raised his head to look at Zheng Jinshu's anxious expression.
Then he looked down at the ring on his middle finger, his mind full of thoughts.
Although Shen Xia had proposed to break up, Gu Zizhan did not take off the ring because it represented his deep longing and attachment to Shen Xia.
When he heard the news, he felt like his heart was torn apart and it hurt so much that he couldn't breathe.
Although he had known that this day would come sooner or later, he still found it hard to accept when the moment finally arrived.
His heart ached as if countless knives were twisting it madly, making it almost unbearable for him.
"Who is the groom?" He asked with a trembling voice, suppressing the pain in his heart.
"Song Jiang, Song Ming and Song Jin." Zheng Jinshu replied.
He nodded silently to show that he understood.
He couldn't help but think of the time he spent with her. Those beautiful memories kept playing in his mind like a movie, making him feel extremely painful.
The men in the Song family were indeed very good to her, and he had tried to snatch her away from them.
However, after all the twists and turns, they still won in the end. Is this the legendary fate?
Thinking of this, he forced a bitter smile and said with a heavy heart, "How can I stop her? She has made it very clear that she doesn't like my family background, and I can never get rid of it."
"Instead of letting her feel sad and compromise because of me, it is better to let her freely choose the life she wants."
Gu Zizhan sat down slowly as if he had lost his soul. His eyes were empty and lifeless, as if the whole world had lost its color.
Zheng Jinshu looked at Zizhan's sad face quietly, his heart filled with pity and helplessness.
After a moment of silence, Zheng Jinshu asked cautiously, "Then I... give her the marriage certificate?"
This question was like a sharp sword, piercing Gu Zizhan's heart.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the air became unusually heavy.
After a long time, Gu Zizhan finally squeezed out a word from between his teeth: "Okay."
This word carries with it endless pain and unwillingness, but it also seems to be a helpless compromise.
His voice was low and hoarse, as if he had used up all his strength.
After saying this, Gu Zizhan closed his eyes, sighed deeply, and his body trembled slightly, as if he was trying hard to suppress his inner emotions.
