Chapter 179: The September Autumn High Divine Decree Arrives
Looking at the light back of his daughter's departure, Sun was very relieved. This sensible daughter since she was a child rarely shows the demeanor of a little daughter, but this time, from Lin Chen's restlessness when he came off the field to participate in the Autumn Festival, until today, when he saw the list, he was so happy that he got rid of it, especially when he got the letter sent by Lin Chen, he actually trotted away all the way for the first time.
Xiao Yiran came to his room, couldn't wait to open the envelope, and pulled out the letterhead inside. Seeing that there was only a thin piece of paper, Xiao Yiran knew that it was estimated that Uncle Yang was in a hurry, and Lin Chen was just writing in a hurry, so naturally he would not have time to write too much.
"Ran'er's sister is like meeting.
lived up to his sister's expectations, won the first place in the provincial test, and after coming to the Chunchun Palace to try to fold the laurel branch, he begged his mother to send someone to Yanshan Mansion to propose. Lin Chen will never let Sister Ran'er wait for a long time, let alone let Sister Ran'er down. ”
Xiao Yiran looked at it and burst into tears of joy. Crystal tears dripped onto the thin letterhead, blurring the handwriting on the paper. Xiao Yiran hurriedly spread the letterhead on the table and dipped his handkerchief in tears. Despite this, the word "propose" on the letterhead was still wet and unrecognizable.
"Miss, whose letter is it, why did it make Miss cry?"
"Are you stupid? Miss, this is tears of joy. ”
Qingwen didn't wait for Xiao Yiran to answer Musk Yue's greeting, and retorted.
"I guess it must be the man's letter."
"That person, who is it?"
Musk Moon was a little confused by one of Qingwen's "men".
"Who else could it be? It must be Aunt Lin. ”
Because Xiao Yiran, Xiao Xing, and Qingwen Musk Yue are usually used to frolicking, so the three of them are not restrained in front of her. Especially Qingwen is even sharper-tongued, and from time to time, when she seizes the opportunity, she will make a joke or two.
Xiao Yiran heard Qingwen say "Aunt Lin", although she lowered her head a little shyly, but not only was she not angry, but her heart was full of sweetness.
"Sister Musk Yue, did you see it, did I say it?"
Qingwen was still selling well, and Xiao Yiran, who was shy and unbearable, suddenly came over, wrapped Qingwen, and scratched her itchy flesh, one master and one servant, and suddenly laughed. Xiao Xing kept smiling and watching quietly. Seeing that both of them were out of breath laughing, they stepped forward to separate the two. No, Qingwen's words pointed to Xiao Xing again.
"Sister Xiaoxing, I've heard from my wife, and I'll let Brother-in-law Sun place an order in a few days."
"Sister Qingwen, is it true?"
Musk Moon asked.
"Naturally, it's true, Sister Xiaoxing is Brother-in-law Sun, and Sister Xiaolian is Brother-in-law Qian. Musk Yue, why don't I go and beg Madame for you, and find you a brother-in-law too? ”
Qingwen teased all three of them for a while, how can Xiao Xing be the master of teasing, with the assistance of Musk Yue, she only gave up with Qingwen squeaking for mercy.
Xiao Yiran knows about the marriage of Xiaolian and Xiaoxing. The parents asked Xiaolian, Xiaoxing, Qian Jun, and Sun Wang respectively, and all four of them were willing, so the mother Sun had already secretly prepared for the marriage of the four.
Speaking of Xiaoxing's marriage, there is another episode. At that time, Xiao Guoliang asked the four elders at any time, Li Ming and Sun Wang fell in love with Xiao Xing at the same time, and when Sun asked Xiao Xing if she liked Li Ming more or Sun Wang more, Xiao Xing did hesitate. Because Xiaoxing has a good impression of both of them, she can't make up her mind who to choose for a while.
Xiao Xing's contact with the two of them was after coming to Yanshan Mansion. In the past, when they were in Huayin or Bianliang, the four of them followed Xiao Guoliang, and Xiao Xing had been waiting for Xiao Yiran in the backyard, so it was rare to have a time to meet. It wasn't until he came to Yanshan Mansion that Xiao Yiran renovated the heating method of the room in the first year, and he became familiar with the two. In Xiao Xing's eyes, Li Ming is decisive and resolute, and there is less interest; Sun Wang, on the other hand, is ingenious and less masculine.
Under Sun's repeated questioning, Xiao Xing was quite embarrassed to tell what she thought in her heart.
"I didn't expect you to be so attentive to this child. No one else can give you an idea about this. Think about it again, and say it when you choose. ”
Xiao Xing held back for several days, but she didn't make up her mind who to choose. In the end, Xiaolian, who chose Qian Jun, gave Xiaoxing a bad idea. The two sisters, who came to Xiao Mansion since childhood, have always had a good relationship. Therefore, no matter what Xiaolian says, Xiaoxing is generally not annoyed.
"Xiao Xing, in my opinion, this matter will come according to the will of God."
"How to do it according to the will of God?"
"How about drawing lots?"
"You?!"
But this time, Xiao Xing is still a little angry. After all, it is a major marriage event, how can it be decided by such a child's play method as drawing lots?
"Listen to me. If you can't make up your mind now, you can only rely on the will of God. It's not a lot, either. You write the names of two people on a piece of paper, and then you put the paper with their names on them, sandwich them in a stack of papers, and smoke them with your eyes closed. Draw three times in a row, and the one who draws out the most times is the person you are destined to be. ”
After listening to Xiaolian, Xiaoxing thought for a while, although she didn't think it was very reliable, but she couldn't think of a better idea for a while, so she gave it a try according to what Xiaolian said. I comforted myself in my heart and said that the right was a game. But the result of the game surprised the two of them. Three times in a row, each time it was Sun Wang who drew out. Xiao Xing still couldn't decide right away in her heart, and always thought it was a coincidence. So, under Xiaolian's construction, he put out an incense case, lit incense and prayed to God, kowtowed, and smoked it three more times, and the result was still the same.
In the end, Xiao Xing decisively chose Sun Wang.
Knowing the results of Lin Chen's provincial examination, and receiving Lin Chen's promise that he would come to Yanshan Mansion to propose his relatives after Lin Chen's spring palace examination next year, Xiao Yiran's heart completely settled down. In happiness and sweetness, live happily and happily. Reading books, practicing calligraphy, playing the piano, and not forgetting to be with Zheng Xinxin's soul at night, bathed in the Buddha light emitted by the Buddha beads presented by Master Yuantong, and silently practiced the mantra taught by Xu Ying's sister.
Autumn in the north comes exceptionally early. By the end of August, the leaves had withered, the grass had withered and yellowed, and the frost was everywhere. These scenes are something that Xiao Yiran dislikes very much. The only thing that Xiao Yiran appreciated was the sky, which seemed higher than the south. Sometimes the sky is full of colorful clouds, sometimes there are white clouds, and when the sky is clear, the deep blue is as clean as washed by water.
In order not to disturb Lin Chen's homework, so as to welcome the spring and palace exams in the spring of the coming year, Xiao Yiran tried his best to restrain the thoughts in his heart and wrote to Lin Chen as little as possible. At this time, Xiao Yiran almost rarely remembered that he was a person with the memories of two lives.
The days slowly came to September 25, and when he got up in the morning, Xiao Yiran found that the weather was exceptionally good that day. On the blue sky, a red sun had just erupted from the top of the mountain in the far east, and in the yard, the trees did not shake, the grass did not move, and there was not a trace of wind in the sky. After having breakfast with his parents, Xiao Yiran wanted to take advantage of such good weather to walk on the street. took Qingwen and Musk Yue, left Xiaoxing at home, and the three of them came to the street for a stroll.
It's just that in less than an hour, he was called back by Sun Wang, who ran in a panic.
"Miss, go home quickly, there is a holy decree here."
"The holy decree of the imperial court has its own father and mother to pick it up, why did you call me?"
"The father-in-law who delivered the decree specified that Miss should be present. The old lady sent the little one to ask the young lady to go back. ”
Xiao Yiran followed Sun Wang back to the mansion for some reason, and sure enough, he saw that the incense case had been placed in the courtyard, and his father and mother were talking with a man dressed as a eunuch in his thirties. Seeing Xiao Yiran coming back, Xiao Guoliang and Sun hurriedly spoke:
"Ran'er, come and take the order."
