In the evening, the entire General's Mansion had been properly arranged for tomorrow's big ceremony, but there was a worried figure looking and wandering at the door.

Until a familiar carriage slowly came from a distance, Xia Changfeng immediately restrained his expression and stepped forward, and soon, a simple and dignified figure appeared in front of him.

"Mother......" Xia Changfeng's throat was suddenly dumbfounded, he looked at Wen's face that had been reduced a lot, as if there were a thousand words blocked in his heart, and there was a mixture of tastes.

Today's Wen is dressed in simple gray clothes, with a gentle smile on her face, her eyes are clear, and she is still holding a string of prayer beads in her hand, and her eyes are immediately red when she looks at Xia Changfeng.

"Chang Feng, quick, let my mother see that you have lost a lot of weight?"

The familiar and warm palm gently stroked his face, Xia Changfeng immediately shook his head, he held Wen tightly, lowered his head guiltily and said gloomily, "It's the child who is not filial." ”

After a long absence, the previous entanglements seem to be gone with the wind in an instant, leaving only a heart of concern.

As soon as Wen appeared, the people in the mansion looked like they couldn't avoid it, and the old lady had been waiting in the hall for a long time.

The low-brow and obedient woman seemed to have been reborn, more humble and gentle than before, and she knelt down in front of the old lady with remorse, "Greeting my mother, my daughter-in-law is not filial, and it is a sin to fail to serve by her mother's side." ”

The old lady still looked cold, she just closed her eyes lightly, and the hall was so quiet that she could hear the sound of an embroidery needle falling to the ground.

Xia Changfeng stood aside nervously, looking at his grandmother's posture that he hadn't planned to let his mother get up, and then looking at Wen's thin body prostrate on the ground, he couldn't help but feel unbearable.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to plead, the old lady groaned, "Get up, you're tired, you're tired." ”

Xia Changfeng was overjoyed, and immediately stepped forward to help Wen up, but the woman had a terrified expression, and still didn't dare to sit down, so she stood next to her so respectfully.

"Tomorrow is Qianwei's big day, as a mother-in-law, do you know what to say and what not to say?"

The reason why Wen was able to come back so soon was because since ancient times, there was no reason for his mother to be absent when she was alive, otherwise it would be regarded as a big bad luck.

Even if the old lady was unwilling in her heart, she had to order someone to take her back from Lei Ruo Temple.

"My daughter-in-law has sincerely repented during this time, and I know that I am ashamed of Qianwei all these years, how dare I break her heart again. After the ceremony, the daughter-in-law begged her mother for permission to return to the temple to participate in the Buddhist ceremony. ”

Wen's eyes were admitted, and he couldn't find the slightest hint of falsehood, and he suddenly hated what she had done in the past.

The old lady's eyes flashed with a streamer, she didn't expect Wen to be so clear about her current position, could it be that her previous worries were superfluous?

Thinking of this, she opened her mouth with a little satisfaction in her tone, "It's really gratifying that you can be so sincere, as for Lan Chu'......"

The old lady glanced at Wen tentatively, but saw that the other party frowned, and said righteously, "Lan Chu made such a big mistake, there is no reason to let her go back to the mansion, tomorrow the daughter-in-law will inform the guests, saying that she is sick and going out for treatment, and she will definitely not let her insult the reputation of the general's mansion again!"

Not only the old lady, but even Xia Changfeng was a little surprised, obviously now was the most suitable opportunity to intercede for Xia Lanchu, but she gave up so easily?

Before they could react, a family member stepped in and respectfully handed Xia Changfeng a letter.

Seeing that the handsome man's expression changed suddenly, the old lady immediately noticed something, "Is it a letter from Yichuan? He should have set off from the army a long time ago, why hasn't he arrived today?"

Xia Changfeng was silent for a moment, hesitated for a moment before replying, "Fifth brother, he is entangled in military affairs, and he said that he will come back in a few days." ”

As soon as these words came out, I heard the old lady sneer, "He's busier than your father, what's the matter? Is this already a general? Such a big day is so perfunctory, I think, he will never come back!"

The old man's face was full of unhappiness, and he only felt that Xia Yichuan was clearly making a perfunctory character, and Wen smiled helplessly, but he didn't dare to say a few more good words for his son.

Xia Changfeng was afraid that the old lady would become more and more angry the more she thought about it, so she immediately changed the topic, "Hasn't my father already taken leave from General Zhenguo, but he is in the courtyard of the third sister?"

Hearing this, Wen slowly lowered his head, hiding the loss in her eyes, presumably the generals still don't want to see her now, right?

The old lady's expression was a little deep, and it took a long time before she answered.

......

At this moment, in the Bihe Courtyard, Aunt Su looked at the beautiful girl in the house like a peach blossom fairy with red eyes, and she was so excited that she couldn't say half a word.

And Xia Yihai sat aside with a loving smile, but there was an incomparably complex emotion in his eyes, which made people not really see it.

At this time, Xia Qianwei's silk-like black hair hung down behind her, and on the pink and purple cloud pattern dress, she was beautifully embroidered with rich peonies, and with her swaying posture, these peonies seemed to be blooming in the wind, which was breathtaking.

"This dress was worn by Mrs. and Lu on the day of the year, and the peony on it is said to be the grandmother of the third lady, that is, the lady of Changxing Hou embroidered it by hand, and the world has not found this piece of ice silk silk, Mrs. loves it tightly, and said that it will be left to the third lady, and it will be passed down from generation to generation. ”

Aunt Su seemed to remember something, her voice carried a taste of yearning and nostalgia, and then stretched out her hand to pull Xia Qianwei's sleeve, "Third Miss, look, Mrs. also embroidered the scriptures on the cuffs to eliminate disasters and pray for blessings, and every word was pierced by her with a needle and a thread, which is extremely fine. ”

Xia Qianwei looked in the direction of her finger, and sure enough, the complex cuffs were densely packed with prayer scriptures, if she didn't observe carefully, she couldn't see that there was another mystery in this dress, she already felt a strong love, but she couldn't tell anyone, she was ashamed of it.

If Lady Yurong was in the Heavenly Spirit and knew that she was going to use her daughter to do an extremely dangerous thing, I am afraid that she would never be able to turn a blind eye, right?

"It's rare that Aunt Su has preserved it so well. Xia Qianwei's voice seemed to be a little ashamed, and Aunt Su shook her head, "What Mrs. explained back then, she will definitely take it out on this day, and only a few senior old ladies in the house know about this dress......

Now that I think about it, did the lady already feel it at that time, and knew that she couldn't see her daughter's courtesy?

"Grandmother's embroidery...... Could it be the long-lost royal double-sided embroidery?"

Xia Yihai came back to his senses from his thoughts and smiled lightly, "You girl has good eyesight, Mrs. Changxinghou's embroidery is the best in the world, even your mother has not received her true inheritance, speaking of which, they should ...... tomorrow."

But he didn't want to talk about this, but the old housekeeper came from outside in a panic, "General, it's not good, the ship of the Marquis of Changxing has encountered water thieves, and I heard that many people have died, the old marquis and his wife...... Whereabouts unknown!"

What the?!

......
